ABB-48431-054

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-48431-054) is a 44-ohm, 2200-watt resistor designed for industrial motor braking systems. It safely dissipates regenerative energy during deceleration, preventing voltage spikes that can damage drives and motors. The GCE6 enclosure provides IP20-rated protection against dust and non-corrosive environments, ensuring reliable operation in manufacturing, automation, and heavy machinery applications. With a compact footprint of 19 inches wide by 10 inches deep by 5 inches high and weighing 20 pounds, this resistor integrates easily into existing control panels or machinery frames. Rated for continuous operation, it handles up to 2200 watts of power dissipation without derating in ambient temperatures up to 40°C. Compatible with ABB drives and other industrial motor controllers, it supports dynamic braking in applications requiring frequent stops or rapid deceleration. The resistor’s 44-ohm resistance balances braking torque and energy dissipation for efficient motor control.
