The Schneider Electric VW3A58702 is a braking resistor designed to enhance the deceleration capabilities of Altivar 31C variable frequency drives. This component is crucial for applications requiring controlled motor stopping and energy dissipation during regenerative braking cycles, contributing to both operational safety and system efficiency.

Technical details

• Series: Altivar 31C
• Resistance: 100 Ohm
• Power Rating: 32 W
• Enclosure Type: IP00 (un-enclosed)
• Functionality: Provides a load path for dissipating excess energy during motor deceleration, preventing overvoltage within the drive.
• Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with Schneider Electric Altivar 31C series inverters.
• Mounting: Requires appropriate mounting and enclosure by the end-user or system integrator due to its IP00 rating.

Applications & compatibility

This braking resistor is integral to applications utilizing Altivar 31C drives where rapid or controlled stopping is a requirement. Common use cases include packaging machinery, material handling systems, and any industrial process where the kinetic energy of a motor needs to be safely dissipated to prevent drive faults or damage.
