Brake Chopper Module
Brake Chopper Module designed to dissipate excessive regenerative energy into a fixed resistor bank
Highlights
- Absorbs high voltage surges on DC voltage supplies due to regenerative braking of DC or AC traction drives — adjustable from 400VDC - 750VDC 400A Brake
- 500VDC to 800VDC Threshold
- Contains provision for resistor over temperature protection via resistor OT sensor
- Brake On and Brake Fault output via relay contacts
- Compact, single enclosure houses all components, including internal isolated power supply
