The Allen Bradley 20BD-DB1-1 serves as an internal dynamic brake resistor kit, optimized for use with PowerFlex series drives. Its primary function is to enable effective dynamic braking of motors, particularly beneficial for applications involving high inertia loads that require swift deceleration.
The braking component features a nominal resistance rating of 115 ohms, and it is essential to note that the input voltage must range between 400 and 480 volts AC, supplied with three-phase power. Installation requires that the kit is mounted inside the drive enclosure designated for Frame 1 models, ensuring a compact and integrated setup.
This resistor kit has a resistance tolerance of 5%, ensuring reliable performance under varying operational conditions. For full functionality, the brake IGBT needs to be enabled in the drive, allowing it to engage the braking mechanism effectively. The kit is designed to provide a large amount of braking torque but is typically meant for brief durations, making it suitable for demanding applications where rapid stopping is necessary.
