Overview
The SEW Eurodrive 08023174 is a brake resistor engineered for use in industrial drive systems requiring dynamic braking energy dissipation. This unit carries the model designation KW 03/04 826 058 3 BW 072-003 and features a power rating of 200-100W. Brake resistors like the 08023174 are essential components in variable frequency drive (VFD) installations, absorbing regenerated energy during motor deceleration to prevent DC bus overvoltage and ensure safe, controlled stopping.
Key Features
- Power rating: 200-100W across operating range
- Internal thermal protection to prevent overload damage
- Designed for SEW MOVIDRIVE and related drive platforms
- Compact resistive element optimized for heat dissipation
- New in box condition with factory specifications
Technical Specifications
The 08023174 brake resistor integrates into SEW drive systems through direct electrical connection to the drive’s braking circuit. Flat-type resistors in the SEW catalog include integrated thermal protection (non-replaceable fuse) that interrupts current during overload conditions. This design protects both the resistor and the connected drive system from thermal damage.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor braking in MOVIDRIVE and MOVIPRO drive systems
- Energy dissipation in four-quadrant (4Q) drive operation
- Regenerative braking systems in machinery with frequent stop/start cycles
- Overhead crane and hoist control systems
- Conveyor and material handling equipment requiring controlled deceleration
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- SEW MOVIDRIVE modular drive systems
- SEW MOVIPRO drive platforms
- External braking resistor circuits in four-quadrant operation
