P14494-57

The ABB P14494-57 braking resistor is a high-power dissipation solution designed for dynamic braking applications in industrial motor control systems. Rated at 10 ohms with a continuous power rating of 1250 watts, this resistor safely dissipates excess energy generated during deceleration of AC drives, preventing overvoltage conditions in variable frequency drive (VFD) circuits. The GCE3 enclosure provides robust protection while maintaining compact dimensions of 12 inches in width, 10 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, weighing 13 pounds for stable mounting. Compatible with ABB low voltage drives, this resistor is ideal for applications requiring precise torque control and rapid motor stopping, such as material handling, conveyor systems, and industrial automation where regenerative braking is present. The resistor's 10-ohm resistance balances energy dissipation with minimal stress on drive components, extending system lifespan. With a durable construction and proven reliability in industrial environments, the P14494-57 ensures consistent performance under continuous operation.
