Overview
The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-49173-010) is a high-power resistor designed for industrial braking applications in variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor control systems. With a resistance of 1.4 ohms and a power rating of 21,000 watts, it efficiently dissipates regenerative energy generated during motor deceleration, preventing overvoltage conditions in drive systems. The resistor is housed in a GCE30 enclosure, providing IP54-rated protection against dust and moisture, suitable for harsh industrial environments. Measuring 28 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and 10 inches high, and weighing 90 pounds, it offers a compact yet robust solution for energy management in heavy-duty machinery. Compatible with ABB low-voltage drives, this resistor enhances system reliability by safely managing high-energy braking cycles. Its durable construction ensures long-term performance in continuous operation, reducing maintenance needs and downtime in industrial applications.
