175F0237

Product Description:

The 175F0237 brake resistor by Danfoss drops into the VLT Brake Resistors group, made to handle braking duties for drives used in tough, active setups. With a resistance rating of 27 Ohms, there’s also a nominal brake resistance measured at 28.7 Ohms when conditions shift. Power puts out at a steady 0.36 kW, matching up with set braking cycles so drives can pull energy off quick during stop-and-start moves on lines. The enclosing type sticks out—tough aluminium housing sits on the outside, taking knocks and shielding everything inside from bumps or splashed liquid.

Quick mounting matters with this size, so the flat-pack/compact body works for panel external setups, saving room for upgrades or checks later. When it comes to cooling, natural airflow does the job—no moving parts need grease or swaps. IP54 or IP65, blocking most dust and straight-on spray, so even machines in messier corners of the plant keep running safe. With the duty cycle locked at 10%, heating stays in limit so the resistor’s rated power lasts down the line. The minimum accepted resistance clocks in at 17.7 Ohms, giving a pad if specs drift but keeping braking sharp enough per system guide.

Electrically, wire cuts to fit with 1.5 mm² cable cross-section, and compatibility lines up smooth with the VLT FC 102, FC 202, FC 300, and FC 360 converter series. When used as recommended, braking stays steady without trips for overheating, perfect for conveyor stops or hoist brakes where safety and repeatability matter more than raw size. The carefully finished design helps in keeping out water and dust day in, day out.
