{"product_id":"vw3a7730","title":"VW3A7730 Schneider Electric","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Schneider Electric VW3A7730 is a braking resistor designed for use with variable frequency drives (VFDs) in industrial automation systems. This component is engineered to dissipate excess energy generated during motor deceleration, preventing overvoltage conditions within the drive. It is a critical accessory for applications requiring frequent or rapid stopping of motor loads, such as those found in material handling or machine tool operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Braking Resistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e Altivar (implied by VW3 prefix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 kW (100 Watts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20 (protected against solid objects greater than 12.5mm, no protection against water)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctionality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dissipates regenerative energy from VFDs during motor braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for use with Schneider Electric Altivar variable frequency drives.
