Designed to dissipate excess energy in variable frequency drive (VFD) systems, the Schneider Electric VW3A7790 braking resistor is an essential component for controlling motor deceleration. This resistor is part of the Schneider Electric Altivar series, commonly integrated into applications requiring precise speed control and dynamic braking capabilities to prevent over-voltage conditions during rapid stops.

Technical details

• Series: Altivar
• Resistance: 2.5 Ohm
• Power Rating: 1000 W
• Enclosure Type: IP 20
• Function: Dynamic Braking
• Application: Energy dissipation for VFDs
• Compatible Systems: Schneider Electric Altivar VFDs (verify compatibility with specific model datasheet)

Applications & compatibility

This braking resistor is critical for applications where rapid motor deceleration is required, such as in packaging machinery, material handling systems, and automated assembly lines. It ensures the safe operation of VFDs by absorbing regenerative energy, preventing voltage spikes and protecting the drive system.
