The Schneider Electric VW3A7607R30 is a braking resistor designed for use with variable frequency drives (VFDs) to dissipate excess energy generated during motor deceleration. This component is part of Schneider Electric's Altivar series, commonly integrated into industrial automation systems requiring controlled motor braking. Its robust construction and specific electrical characteristics make it suitable for demanding applications.

Technical details

• Product Type: Braking Resistor
• Resistance Value: 72 Ohm
• Power Rating: 400 W
• Cable Length: 3 meters
• Enclosure Rating: IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets)
• Series Compatibility: Designed for use with Schneider Electric Altivar variable frequency drives.
• Functionality: Dissipates regenerative energy from motor braking to prevent overvoltage within the VFD.
• Connection Type: Typically connects to the DC bus of compatible VFDs.

Applications & compatibility

This braking resistor is essential for applications where motors frequently decelerate or require rapid stopping, such as on packaging lines, material handling systems, and automated assembly machines. It ensures the stable operation of Altivar VFDs by managing the energy feedback from decelerating motor loads, preventing potential damage and downtime.
