Braking resistors

BRG5025
50Ω/2500W
Braking Resistors
Gerbert

Used in systems with variable frequency drives that require braking or short stopping times. It absorbs and dissipates the energy generated during motor deceleration, preventing overvoltage in the drive and enabling faster, safer stops.

Efficiency

Efficiently and safely dissipates energy as heat, preventing this energy from raising the DC bus voltage and causing drive faults.

Quality

Robust resistive elements with purified silicates mounted in metal structures to improve heat dissipation and extend service life.

Control

Braking is controlled by a drive or braking module using parameters that determine when and how much energy is diverted to the resistor. The drive or module monitors the DC voltage and activates the resistor when necessary.
