ABB-48431-020

The ABB Braking Resistor, SKU ABB-48431-020, is engineered for effective energy dissipation in industrial motor control applications. This unit features a resistance of 44 OHMS and a power rating of 324 WATTS, ensuring it can handle significant braking energy from variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other motor control systems. It is housed within a GCE1 enclosure, providing a durable and protective casing suitable for industrial environments. The physical dimensions are compact: 12 inches in width, 5 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, with a weight of 7 lbs, facilitating straightforward installation into existing control panels or machinery. Manufactured by ABB - Low Voltage Drives, this braking resistor is designed for reliability and longevity in demanding operational settings. Its primary function is to absorb excess kinetic energy during motor deceleration, preventing overvoltage and protecting drive components. Applications include manufacturing lines, automation systems, and process control where precise motor speed and stopping control are essential. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39122004, and it is manufactured in the US.
