Unique-Bargains Aluminum Housed Braking Resistor 500W 100ohm

Aluminium Housed 500W Braking Resistor

This aluminium housed braking resistor provides a 100 ohm, 500W load for industrial power and drive systems. It suits engineers who need reliable energy dissipation in elevator, transducer, ship or lifting equipment. The rugged silver tone aluminium body is built for hard environments and cooling plate mounting.

Replaces Smaller Wirewound Units

Upgrade when an existing resistor overheats or cannot sustain continuous braking cycles in high requirement equipment. The jump is worth it when duty cycles demand the full 500W rating and the aluminium housing can transfer heat to a cooling plate. Multi connection forms simplify retrofitting onto legacy mounting patterns.

100 Ohm 500W Continuous Capacity

The resistor comfortably handles sustained braking loads up to its 500W rating when mounted on a suitable cooling surface. It runs out of headroom if airflow is blocked or the cooling plate is undersized, causing surface temperature to rise rapidly. The 654g mass and compact 24.5 x 6 x 3cm frame limit thermal mass for very long pulses.
