Overview

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-43167) is a precision-engineered braking resistor designed for industrial motor control applications. With a resistance of 40 ohms and a power rating of 2890 watts, this resistor efficiently dissipates excess energy during dynamic braking cycles, protecting motors and drives from overvoltage conditions. Measuring 19 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 5 inches high, and weighing 24 pounds, the ABB-43167 is compact yet robust, making it suitable for integration into existing control panels or machinery frames. Compatible with ABB low-voltage drives and other industrial motor control systems, this braking resistor helps maintain system stability by absorbing regenerative energy during deceleration, reducing wear on mechanical brakes and improving overall energy efficiency. Ideal for applications requiring frequent start-stop cycles or high-inertia loads, such as conveyors, cranes, and pumps.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Braking resistors increase braking torque capability for faster, controlled braking and dissipate regenerated power to prevent bus voltage from exceeding drive limits.

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

A normally closed thermal switch is provided to detect resistor temperature overloads.

What is the function of Braking Modules (Type BM)?

Braking Modules monitor the drive's DC bus and activate external braking resistors to manage regenerated power and improve system performance.

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

These drives are for single-phase 200-240V applications.

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

These drives are for three-phase 200-240V and 380-480V applications.

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

These drives are for single-phase 100-120V and 200-240V applications.

What are Powerohm Type CR resistors made of?

They feature a nickel-chromium wire helically wound inside a ceramic fixture, housed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum case with high-temperature wire leads.

How do Type CR resistors facilitate efficient cooling?

The resistor element is electrically isolated but thermally bound to the outer case, allowing heat to transfer efficiently for cooling.

What is included with Type CR resistor units for installation?

Units are supplied with 18-inch wire leads, and the case has two mounting holes for easy installation.

What features do Type GCE enclosures offer?

They are heavy-gage screened enclosures with a solid bottom and a built-in wiring compartment separated from the resistor assembly.
