1000 W Aluminium Braking Resistor

This 1000 W aluminium housed braking resistor dissipates regenerative energy in motor drives, elevators and power supplies. Its silver tone aluminium body mounts directly to a cooling plate for reliable operation in severe environments. The unit weighs 997 g and measures 32 x 6 x 2.8 cm overall.

8 Ω ±5 % with 1000 W rating

The 8 ohm resistance handles continuous braking loads up to the full 1000 W rating, while the ±5 % tolerance keeps performance predictable. Nylon wrapped leads and solder lug terminals simplify wiring in tight cabinets. Heat capacity runs out when dissipation exceeds the rated wattage without additional forced cooling.

Solder lug terminals for direct wiring

Each terminal has an outer diameter of 8.5 mm and an inner diameter of 4 mm, accepting ring or fork lugs without adapters. The 46 cm long, 0.3 cm diameter nylon wrapped wires reach most panel layouts. Builders needing plug connectors or different wire lengths must add their own termination.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 cm aluminium housing fit on the cooling plate I already use for my 8 ohm load bank?

The housing measures 32 x 6 x 2.8 cm and is designed for cooling-plate mounting, so it will match the same footprint as other 32 cm aluminium-cased resistors.

How can I verify the resistor is operating within its 1000 W rating after wiring the solder lug terminals?

Measure the voltage across the 8 ohm terminals under load; the resistor is working correctly when the dissipated power calculated from that voltage stays at or below 1000 W and the aluminium case temperature stabilises.

Does the package include the nylon-wrapped leads and solder lug terminals, or must I source cables separately?

The box contains one complete braking resistor with the 46 cm nylon-wrapped wires and 4 x 8.5 mm solder lug terminals already attached; no additional cables are required.
