The KEB BR Braking Resistor Series is specifically designed as an essential part for variable frequency drives used in industrial motor applications needing rapid or controlled deceleration. These resistors effectively transform excess regenerative motor energy into heat, thereby avoiding dangerous overvoltage scenarios within the drive system. Offered in both encapsulated and wire-wound styles, the BR series adapts readily to varied installation needs. Engineered by KEB for optimal reliability, durability, and safety, these braking resistors come with UL certification and optional intrinsic safety measures applicable to locations with flammable materials. They are suited to managing significant braking loads, thus positively impacting the performance of systems in elevators, cranes, wind turbines, and similar industrial equipment that demands accurate braking operations. By ensuring maximum braking torque, the resistors not only enhance stopping precision but also help diminish mechanical stress and wear. The robust construction of the BR series withstands thermal cycling, ensuring stable braking performance even in challenging industrial environments. Thanks to advanced materials and epoxy encapsulation, the resistors are well-protected from environmental concerns such as vibrations, shocks, and moisture. Available in power ratings ranging from 10W to 1MW, KEB additionally provides customized solutions for specialized braking applications.
