Frequently Asked Questions

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

Braking resistors dissipate regenerated power to prevent bus voltage from exceeding the drive's rated limit, enabling faster and more controlled braking.

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is the voltage range for ACS250 three-phase drives (575-690V)?

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

What is the voltage range for ACS550 three-phase drives (200-240V)?

These drives are for three-phase 200-240V applications.

What is the voltage range for ACS550 three-phase drives (380-480V)?

These drives are for three-phase 380-480V applications.

How are Powerohm Type CR resistors constructed?

They feature a nickel-chromium wire helically wound inside a ceramic fixture, housed in an aluminum case. Coil ends are terminated to wire leads and encapsulated.

What is the purpose of braking choppers (modules)?

Braking modules monitor the drive's DC bus and activate external braking resistors to manage regenerated power and improve system performance.
