BR Braking Resistor Series

As a vital component for variable frequency drives, the KEB BR Braking Resistor Series offers a specialized braking control solution for industrial motor applications requiring rapid stops or deceleration. By converting excess regenerative energy from the motor into heat, these resistors prevent potentially hazardous overvoltage conditions within the VFD. Available in encapsulated and wire-wound versions, the BR series provides flexibility to suit different installation requirements. KEB engineers these resistors for reliability, durability, and safety, with UL certification and optional intrinsic safety for hazardous locations with flammable materials. Configured to handle high braking loads, the BR braking resistors enhance system performance in applications such as elevators, cranes, wind turbines, and other industrial machinery needing precise braking control. The resistors improve stopping accuracy and reduce mechanical wear by optimizing braking torque capacity. With robust construction resistant to thermal cycling, the BR series delivers consistent braking performance across demanding industrial settings. Advanced materials and epoxy encapsulation provide protection from environmental factors like vibration, shock, and humidity. KEB offers the resistors in power ratings from 10W to 1MW to accommodate variable frequency drives of all sizes. Custom designs are also available to address unique braking requirements.
