What is Braking Resistor? What Is It Used For?

It is used to prevent the braking of AC or DC electric motors controlled by speed control devices when the operator is asked to suddenly decrease to indefinite or normal speed, or to create the desire to control it. Even when the engines are cut off, they continue to rotate with kinetic energy for a while, and the necessary center continues to operate as the generator acts as energy. At this point, while there is a point of converting the energy produced in the opposite direction to heat, it converts the energy to DC and transfers it to the braking resistor with the most appropriate power.

The regenerative energy produced by the motor causes the DC bus of the inverter to rise. The excess voltage is converted into heat via the braking resistor and the DC link normal line drops. In effect, the braking resistor clears as an ohmic load used in the drive to counteract a cell DC bus path rising.

The dynamic braking resistor obtained from chrome nickel wires is produced in the form of aluminum with cooler, since it is suitable for heat dissipation. The braking resistor, which can provide heat transfer between the casing gaps by using oxide oxide, which is resistant to high temperature levels, is designed with aluminum materials manufactured with special production.
