Brake Module

Backward Compatible with Saminco BM-300 Brake Choppers
Absorbs high voltage surges on DC voltage supplies due to regenerative braking of DC or AC traction drives — adjustable from 150V to 400V
Capable of dumping up to 600A into braking resistor
Contains provision for resistor over temperature protection via resistor OT sensor
Brake On and Brake Fault output via relay contacts
Able to sync up to 5 modules with “first triggers all” concept (no master unit required) for a total of 3000A Braking Current
Compact, single enclosure houses all components, including internal isolated power supply
Battery Condition Monitoring feature sends signal to operator indicating repeated Brake cycles, warning the operator to check the battery condition
