Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a braking resistor with a variable frequency drive?

A braking resistor is required for applications needing faster deceleration or when motor speeds exceed the drive's output frequency. It dissipates regenerated power to prevent bus voltage from exceeding the drive's rated limit.

What is the voltage range for ACS150 and ACS355 single-phase applications?

The ACS150 and ACS355 drives are available for single-phase 200-240V applications, intended for stopping duty only.

What is the voltage range for ACS150 and ACS355 three-phase applications?

The ACS150 and ACS355 drives are available for three-phase 200-240V and 380-480V applications, intended for stopping duty only.

What is the voltage range for ACS250 single-phase applications?

The ACS250 drives are available for single-phase 100-120V and 200-240V applications, intended for stopping duty only.

What is the voltage range for ACS250 three-phase applications?

The ACS250 drives are available for three-phase 200-240V and 380-480V applications, intended for stopping duty only.

What is the voltage range for ACS550 three-phase applications?

The ACS550 drives are available for three-phase 200-240V and 380-480V applications, intended for stopping duty only.

How are Powerohm Type CR resistors designed for efficient cooling?

These resistors have a nickel-chromium wire coil inside a ceramic fixture, housed in an aluminum case. The element is electrically isolated but thermally bound to the case for efficient heat transfer and cooling.

What is the purpose of a braking chopper module?

Braking chopper modules monitor the drive's DC bus and activate external braking resistors as needed to manage regenerated power and prevent over-voltage trips.

What is the function of the thermal switch in the GCE and ED enclosures?

The normally closed thermal switch detects resistor temperature overloads. It is used to monitor and alert if the resistor's temperature exceeds safe operating limits.

What type of wire should be used when connecting to resistors directly in Type ED enclosures?

If installing without optional terminal connections in Type ED enclosures, always use 200ºC rated silicone or Teflon wire when attaching directly to resistors.
