P14494-17

The ABB P14494-17 braking resistor is a high-power dissipation unit designed for dynamic braking in variable frequency drive (VFD) applications. Rated at 150 ohms with a continuous power rating of 900 watts, this resistor safely dissipates excess energy generated during deceleration of motors, preventing overvoltage conditions in drive systems. Housed in a GCE3 enclosure, it measures 12 inches in width, 10 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, weighing 13 pounds for robust industrial mounting. The resistor is compatible with ABB low voltage drives and other industrial braking systems requiring precise energy dissipation. Its compact footprint and high thermal capacity make it suitable for panel-mount or DIN rail installations in motor control centers, conveyors, and material handling systems. The 150Ω resistance value provides optimal braking torque while maintaining system stability during regenerative braking events. Trusted for reliability in harsh industrial environments, this resistor ensures compliance with safety standards for dynamic braking applications.
