ABB-48431-571

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-48431-571) is a high-power dissipation solution for industrial motor braking applications. With a resistance of 0.6 ohms and a continuous power rating of 30,375 watts, it safely absorbs regenerative energy during deceleration, preventing voltage spikes that can damage drive systems. Designed for compatibility with ABB Low Voltage Drives, this resistor features a rugged ED2 enclosure rated for harsh environments, ensuring long-term reliability in industrial settings. Its compact footprint (30 inches wide x 18 inches deep x 16 inches high) and 132-pound weight allow for straightforward integration into existing control panels or machinery frames. The resistor’s specifications make it ideal for high-inertia loads such as cranes, conveyors, and large pumps where rapid motor deceleration is required. Unlike generic braking resistors, this ABB unit is factory-tested for voltage withstand and thermal performance, reducing commissioning time and system risk.
