Product Description:

The 175U3316 is a robustly designed brake resistor of Danfoss that is engineered for high performance braking applications in industrial automation environments. It has a robust design capable of withstanding extreme temperatures during both operation and transportation.

The 175U3316 brake resistor is able to work in environments where humidity ranges from 5% to 85% but it must remain free from condensation during operation. Its resistance value is 56 ohms which determines how much it resists the flow of current when active. Its casing can safely withstand temperatures up to 300°C and ensures it does not overheat or become damaged. It can handle up to 3.2 kilo watts of braking energy when it operates at its maximum energy dissipation. Its resistance can vary by 10 percent which means there might be slight differences in its actual resistance compared to the nominal 56 ohms. It is compact as it measures 760 mm in length, 260 mm in width and 95 mm in height which makes it suitable for installation in confined spaces. As this resistor can handle up to 9.9 kW of energy during brief, high load cycles, it is suitable for situations where short bursts of intense energy dissipation is required.

This 175U3316 brake resistor weighs 14.6 kg which makes it relatively manageable for installation and maintenance while still being robust. It has strong insulation and minimizes the risk of electrical faults or short circuits with an insulation resistance of more than 20 mΩ at 1000 volts. It can consistently handle a continuous power load of 3200 watts. The module can ensure a dielectric strength of 2500 volts AC for 60 seconds which means it can resist high voltage spikes without breaking down.

Frequently Asked Questions about 175U3316:

Q: What is the maximum power handling capacity of the 175U3316 brake resistor?

A: The 175U3316 can handle up to 9.9 kW of energy during short, high-load cycles. This makes it suitable for applications with brief bursts of intense braking energy.

Q: What is the impact of the 56-ohm resistance on the braking efficiency?

A: The 56-ohm resistance value is designed to provide efficient dissipation of energy while controlling current flow. It ensures stable braking performance and prevents overheating by regulating the electrical load.

Q: How does the resistor’s compact size affect its installation?

A: The 175U3316’s compact dimensions (760x260x95 mm) make it ideal for installation in tight spaces. Despite its size, it still maintains high power handling and efficient cooling capabilities for demanding tasks.

Q: What is the significance of the 10% resistance tolerance?

A: A ±10% resistance tolerance means there could be slight variations in performance, which is typically acceptable in high-power applications.

Q: How is the module protected from external environmental factors?

A: With an IP54 rating, it is resistant to dust ingress and can withstand water splashes. This level of protection is critical for ensuring longevity and reliable performance in outdoor or harsh industrial environments.
