Manuals and User Guides for Allen-Bradley External Dynamic Brake Resistor Recommended Protection. We found 1 manuals for free downloads Installation instructions

Allen-Bradley External Dynamic Brake Resistor Recommended Protection ensures safe operation of externally mounted brake resistors. This device safeguards against fire hazards caused by overheating, by providing a protective circuit or an equivalent system. External resistor packages must either have self-protection against overtemperature or require the use of this protective circuit. The circuit features a thermostat that monitors the temperature of the resistors and, if necessary, triggers a power-off mechanism to prevent overheating.

Key Features

  • Overheat protection
  • Thermostat monitoring
  • Power-off mechanism
  • Three-phase AC input
  • External brake resistor support

Frequently Answers and Questions

Why is protection needed for external brake resistors?
External brake resistors pose a fire risk if they overheat without protection. The Allen-Bradley External Dynamic Brake Resistor Recommended Protection is designed to address this issue by providing a protective circuit that monitors temperature and shuts off power if necessary.
What components are included in the Allen-Bradley External Dynamic Brake Resistor Recommended Protection Circuit?
The circuit includes a thermostat, a three-phase AC input, and a power-off mechanism. The thermostat monitors the temperature of the external brake resistors, and if the temperature exceeds a safe limit, it triggers the power-off mechanism to prevent overheating.
How does the Allen-off mechanism work?
The power-off mechanism disconnects the power supply to the brake resistors when the thermostat detects an unsafe temperature. This effectively prevents further heating and potential fire hazards.
