Overview

The ABB P14494-22 is a high-performance braking resistor engineered for dynamic braking applications in variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other motor control systems. With a resistance of 80 ohms and a power rating of 1600 watts, it efficiently dissipates excess electrical energy generated during motor deceleration, protecting drive systems from damaging overvoltage conditions. The resistor is housed in a robust GCE4 enclosure, providing protection against environmental contaminants and mechanical stress in industrial environments. Measuring 12 inches in width, 13 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, the unit is designed for both panel-mount and standalone installations, offering flexibility in system integration. Weighing 16 pounds, the resistor is constructed for durability and long-term reliability, even in continuous duty cycles. Its high thermal capacity eliminates the need for external cooling, reducing system complexity and maintenance requirements. The P14494-22 is specifically designed for compatibility with ABB low voltage drives, ensuring seamless integration and optimized performance in regenerative braking applications. Its compact yet durable design makes it an ideal solution for industrial motor control systems where efficient energy dissipation and operational reliability are critical.

FlashDrop is a powerful palm sized tool for fast and easy parameter selecting and setting. It gives the possibility to hide selected parameters to protect the machine. Only the parameters needed in the application are shown. The tool can copy parameters between two drives or between a PC and a drive. Includes DrivePM (Drive Parameter Manager) which is a software tool to create, edit, and copy parameter sets for FlashDrop. The parameter sets can consist of all parameters (incl. motor parameters and ID run results) or only a set of the user parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a braking resistor with variable frequency drives?

Braking resistors are required for applications needing faster deceleration or when motor speeds exceed synchronous speed. They increase braking torque and dissipate regenerated power to prevent bus voltage from exceeding drive limits.

What is the purpose of braking resistors in overhauling load conditions?

In overhauling load conditions, motor speeds exceed the drive's set synchronous speed. Braking resistors dissipate the regenerated power to prevent the drive's DC bus voltage from rising too high.

What is the function of the thermal switch in GCE and ED enclosures?

A normally closed thermal switch is provided in both GCE and ED enclosures. It is used to detect resistor temperature overloads.

When should 200ºC rated wire be used with Type ED enclosures?

If installing without the optional terminal connections in Type ED enclosures, always use 200ºC rated silicone or Teflon wire when attaching directly to resistors.

What wire temperature rating is required if installing without optional terminal connections in Type ED enclosures?

If installing without the optional terminal connections in Type ED enclosures, always use 200ºC rated silicone or Teflon wire when attaching directly to resistors.

How are Powerohm Type CR resistors designed for cooling?

The resistor element is electrically isolated but thermally bound to the aluminum case. This allows heat to transfer to the case for efficient cooling.

What are the installation features of Type GCE enclosures?

Type GCE enclosures have a solid bottom and a built-in wiring compartment. They include 1/2 inch conduit knockouts for routing standard 90ºC rated wire.

When is a brake module supplied as standard for ACS550 drives?

For ACS550 drives, the brake module is supplied as standard up to 10 Hp and optional above 10 Hp for 200-240V applications.

When is a brake module supplied as standard for ACS550 380-480V drives?

For ACS550 380-480V drives, the brake module is supplied as standard up to 15 Hp and optional above 15 Hp.

What is the voltage range for ACS150 and ACS355 single-phase applications?

The ACS150 and ACS355 drives are available for single-phase 200-240V applications.
