Frequently Asked Questions

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

Braking resistors increase braking torque capability and dissipate regenerated power to prevent bus voltage from exceeding the drive's rated limit.

What is the role of a braking chopper (module)?

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

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

The normally closed thermal switch detects resistor temperature overloads and is used for protection.

What is the purpose of the resistor element being thermally bound to the case?

This allows the element heat to transfer to the metallic case, enabling efficient cooling of the resistor.

How are Powerohm Type CR resistors constructed?

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

When should 200ºC rated wire be used with Type ED enclosures?

Use 200ºC rated silicone or Teflon wire when attaching directly to resistor coils if installing without optional terminal connections.

What is the standard Brake Module supply for ACS550-U1- drives?

The Brake Module is supplied as standard up to 10 Hp and is optional for drives above 10 Hp.

What is the standard Brake Module supply for ACS550-U1- (380-480V) drives?

The Brake Module is supplied as standard up to 15 Hp and is optional for drives above 15 Hp.

What wire rating is required for Type GCE enclosure conduit knockouts?

Standard 90ºC rated wire is used when routed into the compartment through the removable 1/2 inch conduit knockouts.

What are the voltage and duty cycle specifications for ACS150/355-01U- drives?

These drives are for single-phase 200-240V applications and stopping duty only, with various duty cycles like 3sec on/27sec off.
