JJY023163720018 SIEMENS Exclusive Braking Resistor for Power Module FSC1 Original Brand New

The SIEMENS JJY023163720018 braking resistor is designed as a reliable solution for controlling excess energy within drive systems. Specifically engineered for use with PM240-2 Power Modules, frame size FSG, this unit ensures safe and efficient energy dissipation. Whenever excess energy builds up in the DC link during braking operations, the resistor converts it into heat, thereby preventing system overload and maintaining operational stability. With a maximum power handling capability of 4000W over 12 seconds at 5% duty cycle, and a continuous power dissipation rating of 200W, it offers a durable and consistent performance for demanding industrial applications.

The braking resistor is an essential component for regenerative scenarios, such as when decelerating rotating machinery with a high moment of inertia. Since PM240-2 Power Modules cannot feed the recovered energy back into the supply system, this resistor provides a secure path to convert the resulting energy into heat. By preventing excessive voltage buildup, the device enhances both safety and reliability, ensuring smooth operation across various automation processes.

Overview

Installation flexibility is a key feature of the JJY023163720018 braking resistor. It can be mounted laterally next to the PM240-2 Power Modules, but for frame sizes FSD to FSG, it is recommended to position the resistor outside the control cabinet or switchgear room. This placement allows the heat generated to dissipate efficiently, minimizing the cooling demand within the cabinet and reducing the need for extensive air conditioning. Every unit includes a UL-listed temperature switch that serves as a safeguard, ensuring that the resistor shuts down before overheating can cause further system damage.

For optimal electromagnetic compatibility, an additional shield connection kit is required when connecting braking resistors for frame sizes FSD to FSG. This accessory ensures stable performance and reduces the risk of interference in sensitive environments.
