ABB-48431-271

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-48431-271) is a high-power resistor designed for motor braking applications in industrial systems. With a resistance of 2.9 ohms and a power rating of 14,210 watts, it efficiently dissipates energy during deceleration, preventing voltage spikes that can damage variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other motor control components. The GCE18 enclosure provides IP54-rated protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. Measuring 28 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 10 inches high, and weighing 65 pounds, this resistor is built for durability and long service life. It is compatible with ABB’s low-voltage drive systems and other industrial motor control applications requiring precise braking control. The resistor’s robust construction and high power handling make it ideal for heavy-duty applications such as conveyors, cranes, and pumps where rapid motor deceleration is critical. No additional cooling is required for standard operation.
