When your VFD is braking, energy created from the braking process must go somewhere. Without a properly sized braking resistor, this energy often can build faster than your drive can handle during deceleration or overhauling loads, leading to overvoltage trips, longer or limited deceleration, unstable controls, and or shortened component life.
Here at Bonitron, we support everything from washdown environments to megawatt class systems.
In need of a resistor that can handle tough environments? Bonitron case resistors are available in IP 65 rated up to 10 HP, offering protection to dust and high pressure water ingress, making these resistors an ideal choice for washdown environments.
For higher power applications, we offer the M3775R Resistive load bank line, built for braking requirements up to the megawatts!
