Brake Chopper BC-10800-180-3R000
Up to 10.8 kW peak power, 180 VDC input voltage: the brake chopper for medium-sized industrial drives with high braking pulses.
In servo systems, hoists and industrial robots, short, intense regenerative pulses can abruptly overload the DC bus. The BC-10800-180-3R000 absorbs these pulses with up to 10.8 kW peak power (3 s) while maintaining operation without shutdown. An optional fan connection and NTC temperature monitoring ensure reliable continuous operation.
Features
- Input voltage range 75–180 VDC, ideal for 48 V to 170 V systems
- Up to 10.8 kW braking power (3 s peak) with active fan
- Fan connection 12 V (open collector) for active cooling
- NTC temperature sensor input for resistor monitoring
- Configurable switching window via CAN (AkroCAN-FD)
- Compact: 80 × 70 × 29 mm, 94 g
