ABB Low Voltage Drives ABB-44541 Braking Resistor, 8.42 OHMS, 12590 WATTS, GCE18 Enclosure, 28W x 10D x 10H in, 45 lbs

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-44541) from ABB Low Voltage Drives is a precision-engineered resistor designed for dynamic braking in industrial motor control systems. With a resistance of 8.42 ohms and a power dissipation rating of 12,590 watts, it safely absorbs regenerative energy during motor deceleration, preventing overvoltage conditions in variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other motor control applications. The GCE18 enclosure provides IP20-rated protection against dust and non-conductive contaminants, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. Measuring 28 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 10 inches high, this resistor fits standard industrial enclosures while weighing just 45 pounds for manageable handling. Its compact footprint and lightweight design simplify installation in control panels or dedicated braking resistor cabinets. Compatible with ABB’s ACS880, ACS580, and other VFD series, this resistor enhances braking performance in applications such as conveyors, cranes, and pumps where rapid motor deceleration is required. Key specifications include: - Resistance: 8.42 ohms (±5% tolerance) - Power rating: 12,590 watts continuous - Enclosure: GCE18 (IP20 protection) - Dimensions: 28W x 10D x 10H inches - Weight: 45 lbs - Country of origin: USA
