Brake Chopper BC-5600-410-30R00
Reliably protects variable frequency drives and DC buses up to 390 VDC against regenerative overvoltage: no external auxiliary supply, no compromises.
Electric drives that brake, reverse or operate under varying loads feed energy back into the DC bus. Without a controlled dissipation path, this regenerative energy causes overvoltages, damaged power electronics and unplanned system shutdowns. The BC-5600-410-30R00 actively switches an external power resistor as soon as the DC bus exceeds the configured threshold: stable, safe and repeatable.
Features
- Protects variable frequency drives and DC bus components up to 390 VDC (peak: 410 VDC)
- Configurable switching window 100–400 VDC via CAN or potentiometer
- No external auxiliary supply connection required
- Status LED: green blinking = chopper active, protecting the DC bus
- Live visualisation of DC bus voltage with the AkroCAN-FD adapter
- Easy to retrofit into existing systems
- Compact design: 80 × 80 × 38.5 mm, 189 g
