Product Description:

The RZW02.1-045-006 Braking Resistor is developed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. The manufacturer known for precision-engineered motion control and drive components. The resistor is optimized for effective braking energy dissipation in industrial automation applications. The unit meets strict electrical and mechanical performance criteria.

The RZW02.1-045-006 braking resistor has a resistance of 7.5 Ω and a peak power dissipation capacity of 40 kW. It is designed for high thermal load applications and features a thermal time constant of 100 ms which indicates rapid heat dissipation capability. The resistor construction supports transient energy absorption with minimal temperature rise that is suitable for dynamic braking systems in high inertia motor drives. The braking resistor is rated for a peak power load of up to 800 % of its continuous power rating. Peak operation is limited to a maximum duration of 7.2 seconds to prevent thermal overload. After each peak cycle a mandatory minimum cool down period of 112.8 seconds must be observed to allow adequate heat dissipation and ensure thermal stability. These limits are based on the resistor's thermal time constant and are critical for maintaining safe operation within design parameters. The RZW series braking resistor’s ability to handle short duration high power makes it ideal for repetitive braking applications. Its high overload capacity ensures that energy is rapidly converted into heat without performance degradation.

The RZW02.1-045-006 braking resistor has a minimum permissible resistance of 6 ohms that allows compatibility with various drive configurations and inverter outputs. It is designed for continuous operation under a short time duty (SD) cycle of 6 %. This means it can dissipate power for 6 % of a given cycle time typically 6 seconds of operation per 100 seconds without exceeding thermal limits.
