Product Description:

The RZW02.1-030-060 is a braking resistor manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RZW Braking Resistors series. Installed on the DC bus of a servo inverter, it converts regenerative electrical energy produced during rapid motor deceleration into heat so that the intermediate-circuit voltage remains within acceptable limits. This function protects the drive electronics from excessive voltage and supports controlled braking in conveyors, presses, and other automated equipment with frequent overhauling loads. The resistor is intended for installation as part of a compatible drive system rather than as a stand-alone braking device.

The resistor can absorb up to 30 kW of electrical power, making it suitable for medium-power, multi-axis systems. Its base resistance of 11 Ω controls the current drawn during each braking event and affects the rate at which regenerated energy is dissipated. The IP20 protection rating helps prevent accidental contact with live components, but the unit must be installed in a dry control cabinet. A thermal time constant of 100 s provides a predictable increase and decrease in element temperature during repeated braking cycles. The unit has a mass of 44 kg, so its mounting surface must be capable of supporting the load securely. Adequate clearance around the enclosure is also necessary to allow heat to escape without exposing nearby components to excessive temperatures.

Cyclic operation permits a duty cycle of 60% SD during each 120-second load period. Under this duty cycle, the resistor may remain energized for up to 72 s before requiring a cooling interval of at least 48 s. The enclosure has a depth of 1000 mm, a width of 490 mm, and a height of 270 mm, providing a large surface area for heat dissipation. Its terminals accept 25 mm² line conductors and a 10 mm² protective grounding conductor, supporting low-impedance electrical connections. The resistor can operate at ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. Its surface temperature is limited to 80 °C, so nearby wiring and cabinet components must be positioned with suitable thermal clearance.
