Resistors, dedicated for use with MCRS 2.4kW 60 OHM frequency inverters MCRS 2.4KW 60 OHM

Braking resistors specifically designed for use with frequency inverters are a key element of regenerative braking systems, allowing for efficient dissipation of energy generated during motor braking. Using a resistor in the braking circuit prevents overloads and damage to the inverter, and also limits heat emission to the environment.

This particular model, with a power of 2.4kW and a resistance of 60 Ohm, is specifically designed to work with LS Electric inverters, providing optimal performance and reliability. It is an ideal solution for both installers and end-users looking for a reliable component for motor control systems.

Characteristics and application

These resistors are used in a wide range of industrial applications where LS Electric inverters are used. They are particularly useful in applications requiring frequent braking, such as cranes, hoists, winches, packaging machines and other devices using electric drives. Thanks to their compact size and safe housing, the resistors can be easily integrated into existing control systems.

Using a braking resistor allows for:

• Inverter protection: Dissipating excess energy prevents overheating and damage to the inverter.
• Increased energy efficiency: Recovering energy during braking (regeneration) allows for reducing electricity consumption.
• Improved safety: Controlled braking provides greater precision and safety of operations.
• Reduced operating costs: Reducing inverter failures translates into lower repair and downtime costs.

Construction and parameters

MCRS 2.4kW 60 OHM resistors are characterized by a solid construction ensuring long-term and reliable operation. The materials used guarantee resistance to high temperatures (up to 200°C) and corrosion. The resistance value of 60 Ohm has been optimally selected for cooperation with inverters with a power of 2.4kW, ensuring efficient energy dissipation during braking. In addition, these resistors have high electrical insulation (above 20 MΩ) and meet standards regarding dielectric strength (AC 2500V / 1 Min). Their C characteristic allows them to react more slowly to short current surges, making them well-suited for starting devices with a motor.
