ABB-49173-007

The ABB Braking Resistor, SKU ABB-49173-007, is engineered for effective motor braking in industrial settings. This unit features a 2 OHM resistance and a substantial 8600 WATTS power rating, ensuring efficient dissipation of braking energy. This capability is crucial for protecting variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other motor control systems from damaging voltage spikes during deceleration, thereby promoting smoother operation and extending equipment lifespan. The resistor is housed within a GCE15 enclosure, providing a physical barrier against dust, moisture, and other environmental contaminants common in industrial facilities. Its dimensions are 26.5 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and 5 inches high, with a weight of 52 lbs, facilitating straightforward installation and integration into existing control panels or drive cabinets. Designed for compatibility with ABB Low Voltage Drives, this braking resistor enhances system reliability and operational performance, contributing to reduced unscheduled downtime and lower overall maintenance expenditures. Manufactured in the USA, this component adheres to stringent quality standards for industrial applications.
