Overview
The ABB-48431-517 braking resistor (SKU: ABB-48431-517) is a high-power industrial resistor designed to safely dissipate regenerative energy from electric motors during deceleration. With a resistance of 1 Ohm and a continuous power rating of 67,600 watts, it prevents dangerous overvoltage conditions in variable frequency drive (VFD) systems. The resistor is housed in an ED5 enclosure rated IP54 for protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments including manufacturing plants, automation systems, and heavy machinery applications. Measuring 30 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 40 inches high, the unit weighs 318 lbs and is built for continuous operation in demanding conditions. It connects directly to the DC bus of ABB low voltage drives to manage braking torque and maintain motor control precision. The resistor is manufactured in the US by ABB - Low Voltage Drives, a leader in industrial power solutions with decades of application expertise.
