ABB-48431-305

The ABB Braking Resistor (SKU: ABB-48431-305) is a 2.5Ω resistor rated for 16,000W of continuous power dissipation. Designed for variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor control systems, it safely absorbs regenerative energy during deceleration to prevent overvoltage conditions. The GCE30 enclosure provides IP20-rated protection against dust and accidental contact, while its compact 28W x 16D x 10H inch dimensions and 71 lb weight allow flexible mounting in control panels or machinery. Compatible with ABB low-voltage drives and similar industrial systems, this resistor ensures stable operation in applications like conveyors, pumps, and CNC machines. Its resistance value and power rating match common VFD braking requirements, reducing the need for custom solutions. Manufactured in the US, the ABB-48431-305 delivers reliable energy dissipation with minimal footprint.
