Magnetek’s Dynamic Braking Resistors
Magnetek's Dynamic Braking Resistors are designed specifically for crane and hoist duty cycles. Working in concert with our Dynamic Braking Units, Magnetek's Dynamic Braking Resistors dissipate energy generated from motors controlled by IMPULSE® brand variable frequency drives. Our Drives can be referenced to your crane's CMAA duty cycle.
We offer our Standard Dynamic Braking Resistors or our new cULus certified Dynamic Braking Resistors. All our resistors are:
Built with rigid galvanized steel or stainless steel enclosures
Suitable for a variety of applications or may be customized to meet the needs of specific applications
Standard Dynamic Braking Resistor Option
Available in smooth wound, wire wound or edge wound resistor coils
Grid type resistors available for the most volatile applications
Weatherproof louvered enclosure option
cULus Certified Dynamic Braking Resistors
