{"product_id":"vw3a7741","title":"VW3A7741 Schneider Electric","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Schneider Electric VW3A7741 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 the deceleration of motor loads, preventing overvoltage conditions within the drive. It is a critical accessory for applications requiring frequent braking or rapid stops, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of Schneider Electric Altivar drives.\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:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 kW (500 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\u003eSeries Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for use with Schneider Electric Altivar variable frequency drives.
