Braking resistors are UL approved with Rhopoint

Designed specifically for motor braking applications, and those in which space is at a premium and UL approval is required, the ULN/ULF Series of metal-clad wire-wound, high-power resistors is now available from Rhopoint Components Ltd.

The Series has a power range from 50W to 500W, with a peak power for a 1.0sec pulse of x25 the full power rating. Featuring extremely low inductance and a high dielectric strength of 1,000V+(voltage ratingx2)/min, they are available with flying lead connections and are built into rugged aluminium housings for optimum heat dissipation. Both lead length and thermostatic protection may be customised to meet individual application requirements, and IP65-rated variants are available.

Operating over a temperature range from -55°C to +250°C, the braking resistors have an insulation resistance in excess of 20MW. They are tested for short-time overload, moisture resistance, thermal shock, vibration, moisture load life and load life.

Wire-wounds are thermally protected for motor braking
