P14494-22

The ABB P14494-22 braking resistor is a high-power dissipation unit designed for dynamic braking applications in variable frequency drives (VFDs). With an 80Ω resistance and 1600W continuous power rating, it safely dissipates excess energy during motor deceleration, preventing overvoltage conditions in drive systems. The resistor is housed in a GCE4 enclosure, measuring 12 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 5 inches high, weighing 16 pounds for robust industrial mounting. It is compatible with ABB low voltage drives and other industrial motor control systems requiring dynamic braking functionality. The compact footprint and durable construction make it suitable for panel-mount or standalone installations in harsh industrial environments. No external cooling is required due to its high thermal capacity, ensuring reliable operation in continuous duty cycles. The resistor’s specifications align with standard industrial braking applications, providing a cost-effective solution for energy dissipation in regenerative braking scenarios.
