ABB-48431-272

The ABB Braking Resistor, SKU ABB-48431-272, is a critical component for managing regenerative energy in industrial motor control systems. Manufactured by ABB - Low Voltage Drives, this unit provides a resistance of 2.9 OHMS and a substantial power dissipation capacity of 16312.5 WATTS. This high wattage rating is essential for safely absorbing the kinetic energy generated when motors decelerate, thereby preventing overvoltage conditions in Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and protecting sensitive drive electronics. Housed within a GCE18 enclosure, the resistor offers robust protection suitable for demanding industrial environments. Its physical dimensions are 28 inches in width, 10 inches in depth, and 10 inches in height, with a total weight of 65 lbs. The country of origin is the US. This braking resistor is designed to enhance the operational safety and extend the lifespan of motor systems by efficiently managing braking energy. Its specifications make it a reliable choice for applications requiring controlled and safe motor deceleration. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39122004.
