Frequently asked questions

What safety feature does the Brake Resistor include?

It often includes a thermal switch to protect against overheating in the event of continuous use or failure.
Can I use a BLM without a brake resistor?

Only if the application has very long deceleration times and generates negligible braking energy.
What factors determine the resistor's rating?

The rating depends on the motor's braking torque and the duty cycle (frequency/duration of braking).
Where is the Brake Resistor typically installed?

It is an external component installed outside the drive, often in a separate, ventilated enclosure.
Is this unit required for Active Line Modules (ALMs)?

No, ALMs are regenerative and feed the energy back to the grid; this is for non-regenerative systems.
What is the function of the Brake Resistor Module?

To dissipate excess regenerative energy from the motor as heat, keeping the DC link voltage stable.
