{"product_id":"vw3a7735","title":"VW3A7735 Schneider Electric","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Schneider Electric VW3A7735 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 the Schneider Electric Altivar series, commonly integrated into motor control systems requiring dynamic braking capabilities to manage regenerative energy and prevent overvoltage conditions. The resistor's specifications are critical for ensuring proper VFD operation and system safety.\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\u003eResistance Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 kW (kilowatts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20 (Ingress Protection rating indicating protection against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and no protection against water)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for use with Schneider Electric Altivar variable frequency drives.
