Product Description:

The Danfoss 175Z0537 is a braking resistor, compatible with the VLT 5000 frequency converter, which offers dynamic braking in industrial applications.

Braking operations are effectively done using this unit due to its resistance of 10 ohms. Its power rating (9 kW) ensures that excess energy is harmlessly wasted during braking cycles, thus safeguarding the drive system and improving the total efficiency. It can be combined with the VLT 5016 model with IP54 design, thus it is a sure addition to the advanced drive solutions offered by Danfoss. The resistor has a voltage range of 380-500 V and a 40% duty cycle to provide high performance in challenging applications where frequent braking is needed. It is externally built to the VLT drive, which gives it the capability to dissipate heat without having to tie it to the sensitive electronics, therefore, enhancing the overall reliability of the system. The 175Z0537 works well for both regulated indoor and more challenging commercial environments because it is available in IP20 or IP54 protection levels. Installing the drive in IP54 enclosures allows for a maximum cable cross-section of 16 mm² (AWG 6).

It permits up to 35 mm² (AWG 2) in IP20 installations, offering flexibility for various protection levels. This versatility guarantees the ability to match numerous installation needs. The resistor can be inserted transparently to systems with programmable control, where VLT 5000 drives include up to eight PNP-type digital inputs (0-24 V DC) and several analog inputs, two voltage/thermistor (0–±10 V), and one current input (0/4–±20 mA). A resistor is required to provide safe energy regulation, but the combined system is versatile enough to run a wide range of motors and has a broad output frequency range (0-1000 Hz).
