Title: Mitsubishi FR-BR-15K Braking Resistor for VFDs | 15kW Dynamic Braking Unit

Product Overview:
The Mitsubishi FR-BR-15K Braking Resistor is a high-performance, essential component designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your industrial motor control systems. Specifically engineered for seamless integration with Mitsubishi FR series Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), this 15kW dynamic braking unit effectively dissipates regenerative energy generated by rapidly decelerating motors or high-inertia loads. By converting excess kinetic energy into heat, the FR-BR-15K prevents overvoltage conditions within the VFD, safeguarding sensitive electronics, eliminating nuisance trips, and allowing for faster, more controlled stopping times. Ideal for applications requiring precise motion control, frequent braking, or handling heavy loads, this robust resistor ensures optimal system performance and reliability in demanding industrial environments. Invest in the FR-BR-15K to protect your valuable equipment, improve operational stability, and achieve superior control over your machinery.

Key Features & Benefits:


  • High Power Dissipation: Rated at 15kW, effectively handles significant regenerative energy from large motors and high-inertia applications, preventing VFD overvoltage.
  • Enhanced System Protection: Safeguards your Mitsubishi FR series VFDs from damaging voltage spikes, extending their operational lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Rapid & Controlled Deceleration: Enables quick and precise stopping of motors, improving cycle times and operational efficiency in automated processes.
  • Optimized for Mitsubishi FR Series: Designed for perfect compatibility and seamless integration with Mitsubishi FR-A, FR-F, and FR-E series VFDs, ensuring peak performance.
