Lenze ERBM370R150W Brake Resistor

The brake resistor, also known as braking chopper, discharge resistor, or dynamic braking resistor, with type number ERBM370R150W from Lenze is a mechanical component from the field of brakes and attachment parts for converting excess energy from electric drives into heat. It has the dimensions 30 x 15 x 15 cm and weighs 1.1 kg. Brake resistors serve to convert the kinetic energy generated during braking of electric motors into thermal energy, thereby preventing overvoltage in the DC link of frequency converters. They enable fast and precise braking and are essential for the safe and efficient function of drive systems in automation technology. Typical applications include crane systems, conveying technology, elevators, servo motors, and wind turbines.
