ABB-48431-098

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-48431-098) is a precision-engineered component for low-voltage drive systems requiring controlled energy dissipation during braking. With a resistance of 8.5 ohms and a power rating of 6196.5 watts, it efficiently converts regenerative energy into heat, preventing overvoltage conditions in motor control applications. Encased in a GCE12 enclosure, the resistor measures 26.5 inches in width, 13 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, weighing 29 pounds for stable operation. Designed for compatibility with ABB Low Voltage Drives, this resistor ensures reliable braking performance in industrial automation, material handling, and HVAC systems where rapid deceleration is critical. Its durable construction resists vibration and thermal stress, making it suitable for harsh environments. The resistor’s specifications align with standard industrial braking requirements, providing a cost-effective solution for energy management in variable frequency drive (VFD) applications.
