Product Description:
The 16.BR.110-6423 braking resistor is manufactured by KEB and belongs to the BR Braking Resistors series. As an external energy-dissipation module, it converts surplus regenerative power from frequency inverters into heat, keeping the DC-link voltage within safe limits during rapid motor deceleration. This prevents overvoltage trips in conveyor, hoist, or centrifuge drives and maintains predictable stopping behavior in industrial automation.
Copper windings inside this single-module unit present a resistance of 42 Ω, establishing the current that flows when the device is triggered. Under steady regenerative conditions, it dissipates 820 W continuously, while short bursts can reach a peak load of 16.4 kW. The assembly is designed for inverter systems in the 400 V voltage class. Environmental ingress is limited by its IP20 rating, so installation inside a control cabinet is recommended. Power leads terminate on screw clamps sized for 12 AWG / 4 mm² conductors, which is the same cross-section used for the internal ribbon element. Only one module is supplied, and the steel housing measures 470 mm in height, 96 mm in depth, and 63 mm in width, allowing vertical mounting beside drives without obstructing airflow.
This resistor is intended for intermittent surges; a duty allowance of 5 % means the element may conduct for three seconds in every minute before temperature rise exceeds the design curve. An integral bimetal thermostat changes state at 160 °C, and the normally closed contact sends an over-temperature signal to the inverter. The auxiliary contacts can switch up to 250 VAC / 0.5 A, while a parallel 30 VDC, 0.5 A limit covers low-power control circuits. These thresholds let the control system disconnect the load quickly, keeping the housing and nearby equipment within permissible thermal limits.
