Braking resistor on AC servo motor driver is not working, and I cannot find power on it( It burned up), but I know it is 100ohm . Power on driver is 200W. Can I put 400w (100ohm) braking resistor on that motor?
Yes. It's the resistance that matters here. The 400W rating means it is capable of safely dissipating 400W, so if the servo drive is rated fro 200W, it cannot deliver more than that.

Usually the servo drive manufacturer will recommend ratings, and often specific part numbers, for external braking shunt resistors. This should be in the manual for the drive.
It is common for these shunt resistors to have thermostats that can be wired into the drive, and the drive can fault if the shunt temperature gets too high. The intent is to keep the shunt from burning up. I don't know if your drive has this capability.
Be very careful in considering power ratings. The 200W drive rating is likely a continuous rating, with a peak rating several times higher. In most servo applications, the shunt resistor is for rapid decelerations, whose power requirements can be well above the continuous rating for a few seconds. The fact that you burned up your previous shunt means that you need to analyze your system requirements very carefully.
Early Supplier Involvement has long been a strategy employed by manufacturers to produce innovative products. Now, it almost seems like a necessity. Because decisions made in the design phase can positively affect product quality and costs, this can help add value to OEM bottom lines. This white paper will discuss many facets of ESI, including why it’s so valuable today, what challenges limit the benefits of ESI, how cost is impacted, and more. Download Now
This white paper describes what we see as the best practices to support a sustainable engineering process for autonomous vehicle design. It exposes how to use simulation and testing in common frameworks to enable design exploration, verification and validation for the development of autonomous cars at a system, software and full-vehicle level to drive a mature product development process for automated driving.
