The 1336-RLOAD-SP5A is a load resistor that belongs to the 1336 series, specifically the Plus, Plus II, Impact, and Force series. It has been manufactured by Allen-Bradley and it can be found as a replacement part for the drives from this series. The Allen-Bradley 1336-RLOAD-SP5A load resistor belongs to the Frame E series and it operates at 575 Volts AC and with an output power rating of 150 to 300 Horsepower. This means that it is fully compatible with 1336STEF adjustable frequency drives that match this voltage rating, horsepower rating, and frame size. The Allen-Bradley 1336-RLOAD-SP5A load resistor is basically a resistive load and its main function is to increase or decrease the power at the load according to the requirements of the application, making sure that constant power remains in the circuit, with impedance matching, maximum power transfer; improved output stability, and a guaranteed minimum current circulation level.

The recommended operating conditions of the Allen-Bradley 1336-RLOAD-SP5A load resistor are basically the recommended for the 1336 series of adjustable frequency AC drives. The operating temperature ranges from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and it can handle a relative humidity of 5 to 95% without condensing. Being an electronic part, it is utterly important to avoid condensation and high levels of humidity since the parts can become corroded or damaged. Users need to be aware that the installation of this part can be extremely complex due to its nature. It is recommended to be performed by an electronic engineer, technician or operator who has a wide knowledge of circuits and electronic parts and who knows the assembly of an adjustable frequency drive. Proper installation will guarantee not only the proper functioning on the drive but a longer life to all its parts and units.
