Overview

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU ABB-41150) is a high-power resistor designed for regenerative braking applications in industrial motor control systems. Manufactured by ABB - Low Voltage Drives, this resistor provides a 4 Ohm resistance with a 5600 Watt power rating, enabling efficient dissipation of kinetic energy during motor deceleration. Housed in a durable GCE9 enclosure, the unit measures 26.5 inches in width, 10 inches in depth, and 5 inches in height, weighing 26 pounds for stable installation in electrical cabinets or control panels. The resistor is optimized for use with ABB ACS800-PC/U7 series drives, supporting applications requiring precise braking torque control and energy recovery. Its compact footprint and robust construction make it suitable for high-duty-cycle operations, including material handling, conveyor systems, and industrial machinery where rapid motor stops are required. For applications demanding reliable energy dissipation and extended operational life, the ABB-41150 braking resistor delivers consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

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

A braking resistor is required for applications needing faster deceleration or to manage overhauling load conditions. It dissipates regenerated power to prevent bus voltage from exceeding the drive's rated limit.

What is the role of Braking Modules with AC drives?

Braking Modules monitor the drive's DC bus and activate external braking resistors as needed. This manages regenerated power, prevents over-voltage trips, and improves drive system performance.

What wire rating is required for direct connection to resistors in Type ED enclosures?

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

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. This helps prevent damage by monitoring the operating temperature.

What wire rating is needed for Type GCE enclosure wiring?

Standard 90ºC rated wire is used when routed into the compartment through the removable 1/2 inch conduit knockouts and connected to the factory wired terminal block.
