{"product_id":"vw3a7740","title":"VW3A7740 Schneider Electric","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Schneider Electric braking resistor, part of the Altivar series, is designed to dissipate excess energy generated during deceleration in variable frequency drive (VFD) applications. With a nominal resistance of 100 ohms and a continuous power rating of 0.26 kW, this component is crucial for protecting VFDs from overvoltage conditions when the motor acts as a generator. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Altivar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Power Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Energy Dissipation for VFD Deceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overvoltage protection in VFD systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for use with compatible Schneider Electric Altivar variable frequency drives.
