RXLG Aluminum Housed AC Drive Braking Resistor for VFD Systems
Description
Overview
The RXLG aluminum housed AC drive braking resistor is designed to safely dissipate regenerative energy generated during motor deceleration in variable frequency drive (VFD) and inverter systems.
With a robust aluminum enclosure and efficient heat dissipation design, it provides stable braking performance for AC motor control, industrial automation, and motion control applications.
Yuansheng braking resistors support customized resistance values and power ratings to meet different VFD, servo drive, and industrial control requirements.
How Does a Braking Resistor Work?
During motor deceleration, regenerative energy generated by the motor can increase the DC bus voltage of a VFD system. A braking resistor absorbs this excess energy and converts it into heat, helping prevent over voltage faults and ensuring controlled motor deceleration and preventing VFD over voltage protection trips
