ABB-48431-330

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-48431-330) is a high-efficiency energy dissipation solution for low voltage drive systems requiring controlled motor braking. With a resistance of 2.2 ohms and a power rating of 14,080 watts, this resistor safely converts kinetic energy into heat during deceleration cycles, preventing overvoltage conditions in drives. The GCE30 enclosure provides IP20-rated protection against dust and incidental contact, suitable for indoor industrial environments. Measuring 28 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and 10 inches high, the unit weighs 71 pounds and mounts in standard enclosures. Designed for compatibility with ABB low voltage drives, it integrates directly into braking circuits without additional components. This resistor reduces wear on mechanical braking systems, extends motor life, and minimizes electrical stress on drive components. Ideal for conveyor systems, pumps, and fans where frequent starts/stops are required.
