The Schneider Electric VW3A7602R20 is a braking resistor designed for use with variable frequency drives (VFDs) to dissipate excess energy generated during motor deceleration. This component is integral to VFD systems that require controlled braking, preventing overvoltage conditions and protecting the drive and motor.

Technical details

• Product Type: Braking Resistor
• Resistance Value: 27 Ohms
• Power Rating: 100 Watts
• Cable Length: 2 meters
• Enclosure Rating: IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets)
• Series Compatibility: Designed for use with specific Schneider Electric Altivar VFD series. Buyers should verify compatibility with their specific drive model via the manufacturer's datasheet.
• Functional Characteristic: Dissipates regenerative energy from the DC bus of a VFD during motor braking.

Applications & compatibility

This braking resistor is commonly employed in applications where rapid or frequent motor deceleration is required, such as packaging machinery, material handling systems, and automated assembly lines. It ensures the stable operation of Schneider Electric VFDs by managing braking energy, thereby extending the lifespan of the drive components.
