Resistors, dedicated for use with MCRF-ST 5kW frequency inverters 12 OHM MCRF-ST 5KW 12 OHM

Braking resistors for inverters – the key to efficient energy management

Resistors dedicated to working with frequency inverters, such as this one with a power of 5kW and a resistance of 12 Ohm, play a key role in regenerative braking systems. Their task is to dissipate excess energy generated during motor braking, converting it into heat. Without a braking resistor, this energy could lead to an overload of the inverter or damage to other installation components.

Construction and application

This particular resistor, catalog number MCRF-ST 5KW 12 OHM, was specifically designed to work with LS Electric inverters. It is an essential element in applications requiring frequent motor braking, such as lifts, elevators, conveyors or CNC machines. Using a dedicated resistor ensures optimal braking system performance and reliability. The resistance value of 12 Ohm is selected to effectively dissipate energy at a power of 5kW, ensuring safe operation of the inverter.

Why choose a dedicated resistor?

• Inverter performance optimization: A resistor matched to a specific inverter model (in this case LS Electric) ensures its correct operation and extends its lifespan.
• Safety: Effective energy dissipation prevents overheating and damage to the inverter and other system components.
• Compact dimensions: Resistors from the MCRF-ST series are characterized by a compact design, which facilitates their installation even in limited space.
• Durable housing: A safe housing protects against accidental contact with live parts and ensures the durability of the device in harsh industrial conditions.
• Wide power range: Resistors are available with a power of 120W to 100kW, allowing you to choose the right model for each application.

This resistor is characterized by a power of 5kW and a resistance of 12 Ohm, and is intended for use with LS Electric inverters.

Braking resistors are not only a safety element – they are an investment in the reliability and efficiency of the entire drive system. By choosing a dedicated resistor, you can be sure that your inverter will operate optimally for a long time.
