In order to limit this increased voltage to protect the equipment, DC bus voltage must be limited under a critical value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeding this energy back to grid is not an economical method due to need of expensive power electronics and control equipments in most cases. Instead, this excess energy is converted into heat through a brake chopper and a braking resistor. Our\u00a0<strong>Dynamic Braking Resistor<\/strong>\u00a0provide compact and economical solution for dissipating the excess energy produced by the motor. Our dynamic braking solution is compatible with any duty cycle for various applications with power ratings from a few watts to many mega watts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Manufactured for any power rating and duty cycle<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Galvanized, stainless steel or aluminum case enclosed models<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Custom designs available in addition to standard modules<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Suitable for any brand and model of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For high continuous powers and areas where space is a limitation, fan cooled\u00a0<strong>braking resistor<\/strong>s are also manufactured especially for marine, mining, and traction sectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Enclosure options:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Aluminium heat sink enclosed<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Hot dip galvanized steel enclosed<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Stainless steel enclosed<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Remark-1:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ohmic value of<strong>resistors for braking<\/strong>\u00a0purposes should not be less than VFD manufacturers&#8217; catalog values. If this minimum catalog value is violated, it can cause equipment damage. If the chosen ohmic value is much larger than inverter catalog&#8217;s recommended value, braking time gets longer.
