Product Description:

The 175U3339 Brake Resistor is an external braking system designed for frequency converters. It ensures efficient energy dissipation during braking by providing a load on the DC link. This helps prevent the DC link voltage from rising excessively. It allows for quick braking of heavy loads such as on conveyor belts.

The 175U3339 brake resistor from Danfoss features a resistance of 28 Ω and provides 1400 W of continuous power under 100 % load. The resistor is capable of handling 17.5 kW of pulse load power at a 10 % duty cycle and 4.38 kW at a 40 % duty cycle. This ensures high performance in various operational conditions. The resistor comes with an aluminum housing and is rated for IP54 protection that offers enhanced durability and resistance against dust and water. It is designed with a maximum operating voltage of 600 V AC and 600 V DC that is suitable for a variety of applications. The resistor is equipped with a temperature switch and its terminal max wire cross-section is 2.5mm² (14 AWG). The power cables are rated for 2 x M8 that ensures secure connections during installation. The resistor's design is optimized for reducing heat buildup during braking that allows energy to be dissipated efficiently outside the panel.

The 175U3339 brake resistor is engineered with a high insulation resistance exceeding 20 MΩ when tested under a potential of 1000 V DC that ensures exceptional dielectric strength and minimizing leakage currents. This characteristic enhances operational safety, reduces the risk of short circuits and provides reliable isolation between the resistor’s conductive elements and its enclosure even under high voltage stress conditions. It also meets UL standards that provides compliance for global markets.
