080Z0052 Danfoss

Product Description:

The 080Z0052 braking module is manufactured by Danfoss for the VLT Brake Resistors series and is installed alongside VLT drives to absorb regenerated energy that appears on the DC-link during motor deceleration. By converting excess electrical energy into heat, the resistor prevents overvoltage trips and maintains stable operation in small-to-medium automation panels.

This model can be connected to control systems that supply 115/230 V on the primary side; an internal step-down section then provides a secondary of 12/24 V for signaling circuits. Its thermal design is sized for an apparent power of 30 VA, so cabinet planners can calculate heat dissipation without oversizing ventilation. The resistor ships with a gross mass of 1.16 kg, while its net installed weight is 1.086 kg, figures that help determine mounting hardware and enclosure load limits.

Because the unit contains No batteries, periodic battery-replacement procedures are unnecessary and there is no stored chemical energy that could influence hazard assessments. The lifecycle status is flagged as Discontinued, which implies that replacement planning or stocking of spares is advisable for long-term equipment support. Environmental compliance is simplified: the product lists No restricted substances on the EU REACH candidate list, reducing documentation burdens for export projects. Finally, the type designation AK2-IO identifies the exact mechanical and electrical variant used when cross-referencing assembly drawings or drive manuals.

Wake Industrial offers a 1-year warranty on every purchase, supports international shipping options for global maintenance teams, and maintains a free chat tool where engineers can ask about fault codes or general specifications before ordering.
