Braking Resistors

Working System of Braking Resistors

When braking resistors are in an electrical circuit, they absorb some of the energy generated by a motor or generator. This prevents the energy from being discharged instantly, ensuring that the circuit operates safely. Braking resistors are designed to ensure that the voltage and current in the circuit remain constant. Thus, when the motor or generator is braked, some of the energy in the circuit is absorbed by the resistors and slowly discharged without damaging the circuit elements.

Braking resistors operate at high temperatures and generate heat. For this reason, they are often used in combination with a cooling system. Furthermore, braking resistors are produced in different sizes and capacities, so they can be used in a way that suits different applications.

Braking Resistors Areas of Use

Braking resistors are commonly used in industrial machinery, elevators, trains, cranes, trains, cranes and other large machines. In such applications, when the motor or generator is braked, braking resistors are activated and allow the energy to be discharged.
