VLBXR007 - 7 OHM BREAKING RESISTORS FOR VLB3

Why Choose the Lovato VLBXR007 Braking Resistor?

The Lovato VLBXR007 is a high-power braking resistor designed for use with Lovato VLB3 series variable speed drives. Rated at 1900 W, it provides reliable braking energy dissipation for industrial motor control applications where controlled deceleration and improved drive performance are required.

Braking resistors are used with variable speed drives to absorb excess energy generated when a motor slows down quickly. The VLBXR007 helps protect the drive system by safely dissipating this regenerative energy as heat, supporting stable operation in machinery with frequent starts, stops or rapid deceleration cycles.

Designed for VLB3 drives rated from 30 to 75 kW, the VLBXR007 is well suited to demanding industrial applications such as conveyors, hoists, production machinery and process equipment where effective dynamic braking is essential.
