Why Choose the Lovato VLBXR007 Braking Resistor?
The Lovato VLBXR007 is a dedicated braking resistor for Lovato VLB3 variable speed drives, designed to support controlled motor deceleration in demanding industrial drive applications. It dissipates excess regenerative energy generated during braking, helping the drive manage stopping cycles safely and reliably.
This braking resistor is ideal for applications where motors need to stop quickly, slow down frequently or handle high-inertia loads. By providing an external path for braking energy, the VLBXR007 helps improve drive performance, reduce overvoltage trips and support consistent machine operation in automated systems.
With a 7.5 Ω resistance value, 1900 W power rating and compatibility with Lovato VLB3 drives from 30 to 75 kW, the VLBXR007 is a robust accessory for industrial motor control panels, production machinery and OEM drive installations.
