Dynamic Braking

Dynamic braking resistors (DBRs) are used to absorb the energy generated when stopping electric motors. They must be able to absorb this energy and cool down quickly between stops.

Our DBR range

Our wide range of resistor technologies means that we can select the most technically appropriate and cost-effective resistor design for any application, whether it be continuous, intermittent or infrequent. For the majority of industrial applications, we have developed a range of DBRs which are manufactured in standard packages and on lead times to match drive availabilities.

Units can be supplied either as open banks for mounting into existing enclosures or as totally enclosed units housed in IP20 steel enclosures complete with terminals and knock outs
