Why Choose the Unitronics UMI-S0408 Braking Resistor?
The Unitronics UMI-S0408 is a high-performance dynamic braking resistor designed for use with compatible Unitronics variable frequency drives (VFDs). Engineered to dissipate regenerative energy generated during motor deceleration, this braking resistor improves stopping performance, reduces braking times and helps protect drive systems from DC bus overvoltage conditions.
During rapid motor deceleration, excess energy is returned to the drive. The UMI-S0408 safely converts this regenerative energy into heat, allowing controlled braking performance and preventing unwanted drive faults. This makes it ideal for industrial applications requiring frequent starts, stops and precise motion control.
Designed for 400-480 V three-phase drive systems, the UMI-S0408 features a resistance rating of 100 Ω and a braking power rating of 600 W, making it suitable for selected 4 kW (5 HP) Unitronics VFD applications.
