TEMPERATURE BASED RESISTIVE BRAKING CAPACITY

Provided herein is a system including a resistor grid comprising a plurality of resistor elements, the resistor grid electrically coupled to a motor of an electric drive machine; a temperature sensor arranged to measure a temperature of at least one of the plurality of resistor elements; a control circuit comprising one or more processors and memory structured to store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the control circuit to: determine a temperature of the least one resistor element, according to measurements from the temperature sensor; and determine a resistive braking capacity of the resistor grid within a power capacity differential, according to the determined temperature of the resistor element; and a display configured to render a graphical representation of the resistive braking capacity of the resistor grid relative to the power capacity differential.
