Power Module accessories DIN rail mounting kit The DIN rail mounting kit (DRMK) is designed to allow the SINAMICS G120 Frame Size A and B (FSA and B) inverters to be mounted on a pair of parallel DIN rails. The DRMK provides an integrated screening plate to allow for the termination of the screened motor cables and other screened cable used with the inverter.
In addition, line commutation chokes reduce the effects of harmonics on the SINAMICS G120 power module and on the power supply. If the line impedance is less than 1 % (stiff supply) then a line commutation choke must be used to reduce the current peaks and to protect the SINAMICS G120 power module.

8.2 Power Module accessories Braking resistor The braking resistor is designed for the SINAMICS G120 inverters with an internal brake chopper and enables loads with a large moment of inertia to be braked quickly. During braking of the motor and the load, excess energy is fed back to the inverter. This causes the voltage to rise in the DC link.
