Provided herein is a system including a resistor grid having a resistor element and a sensor configured to sense a condition indicative of a temperature of the resistor element. The system also includes a processing circuit comprising memory communicably coupled to one or more processors. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the processing circuit to determine a speed of an electric drive machine as resistive braking is applied to the electric drive machine, determine the temperature of the resistor element of the resistor grid as the resistive braking is applied to the electric drive machine, calculate, in response to the temperature satisfying a temperature threshold, a maximum resistive braking speed, and apply the maximum resistive braking speed to a governor of the electric drive machine to prevent the electric drive machine from exceeding the maximum resistive braking speed.
An electric drive machine comprising:
A system for controlling a resistive braking speed, the system comprising:
A method for controlling a resistive braking speed, the method comprising:
