According to Automation-Direct, "Braking resistors don't actually provide braking directly -- rather, they allow a drive to stop a loaded motor faster." Why is this important? Protect your AC or DC drive system from regenerative voltage that can create an over-voltage fault on the drive -- especially with high inertial loads or rapid deceleration. View the video. Static electricity isn't just a nuisance; it's a serious threat to manufacturing efficiency, product integrity, and workplace safety.
