Overview

The ABB Low Voltage Drives Braking Resistor (SKU: P14494-29) is a high-power resistor designed to safely dissipate regenerative energy from variable frequency drives (VFDs) during deceleration or overhauling loads. With a resistance of 45 ohms and a continuous power rating of 3200 watts, this resistor prevents drive overvoltage conditions that can damage equipment or disrupt operations. The resistor is housed in a GCE8-rated enclosure, providing protection against environmental contaminants while allowing for straightforward panel or system integration. Measuring 19 inches in width, 13 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, the unit weighs 25 pounds, making it suitable for installation in control panels or dedicated mounting locations. This braking resistor is essential for applications requiring precise stopping control, such as conveyor systems, elevators, and material handling equipment, where energy management and system stability are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Braking resistors are used to dissipate regenerated power, preventing the bus voltage from exceeding the drive's rated limit during faster deceleration or overhauling load conditions.

When are braking modules used with AC drives?

Braking modules are used when applications require faster deceleration or when motor speeds exceed synchronous speed, creating regenerated power that can over-volt the drive.

What is the duty cycle for the listed resistor applications?

The duty cycles listed include 3sec on/27sec off, 10sec on/50sec off, 30sec on/180sec off, and 60sec on/180sec off.

How are Powerohm Type CR resistors constructed?

They feature a nickel-chromium wire helically wound inside a ceramic fixture, housed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum case with ceramic potting for electrical isolation and thermal transfer.

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

The normally closed thermal switch detects resistor temperature overloads and is used to prevent damage.

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

These drives are designed for single-phase 200-240V applications.

What is the voltage range for ACS150 and ACS355 three-phase drives?

These drives are designed for three-phase 200-240V and 380-480V applications.

What is the voltage range for ACS250 single-phase drives?

These drives are designed for single-phase 100-120V and 200-240V applications.

What is the voltage range for ACS250 three-phase UL Type 4X drives?

These drives are designed for three-phase 200-240V and 380-480V applications.

What is the voltage range for ACS250 three-phase drives (non-UL Type 4X)?

These drives are designed for three-phase 575-690V applications.
