Overview

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-41130) is a 18-ohm, 300-watt resistor designed for motor braking systems in industrial applications. It efficiently dissipates energy during braking operations, protecting motors and drives from overvoltage conditions. The GCE1 enclosure provides IP20-rated protection against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. Measuring 12 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 5 inches high, this compact resistor weighs just 7 pounds, making it easy to install in space-constrained panels. Compatible with ABB Low Voltage Drives, it integrates seamlessly into existing systems to enhance braking control and reduce mechanical wear. Ideal for conveyor systems, pumps, and HVAC applications where precise motor deceleration is critical. The resistor’s 18-ohm resistance and 300-watt power rating ensure optimal performance for medium-duty braking cycles, while its durable construction supports long-term reliability in industrial settings. Its standardized dimensions and weight facilitate straightforward mounting and integration into control cabinets or drive enclosures. Designed for use with ABB’s low-voltage drive portfolio, it supports dynamic braking applications across a range of motor types and power ratings, contributing to system efficiency and safety.

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 voltage range for ACS150 and ACS355 single-phase drives?

These drives are for single-phase 200-240V applications and are designed for stopping duty only.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These drives are for three-phase 575-690V applications, designed for stopping duty only.

How are Powerohm Type CR resistors constructed?

They feature a nickel-chromium wire helically wound inside a ceramic fixture, placed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum case. Coil ends are terminated to high-temperature wire leads and encapsulated with ceramic potting material.

What is the purpose of Braking Modules?

Braking Modules are used with AC drives to monitor the DC bus and activate external braking resistors as needed to manage regenerated power and improve system performance.

What is the duty cycle for the listed resistor applications?

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

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

A normally closed thermal switch is provided to detect resistor temperature overloads. It is used to monitor and alert if the resistor's temperature exceeds safe operating limits.
