6SE7018-0ES87-2DC0 SIEMENS

The 6SE7018-0ES87-2DC0 is a Sinamics/SIMOVERT braking resistor manufactured by Siemens. It is designed for use in variable frequency drive (VFD) systems to dissipate excess energy generated during braking or deceleration of a motor. This braking resistor operates within a DC voltage range of 510 to 620 volts. It has a power rating of 5 kilowatts (kW), indicating its capacity to handle significant energy dissipation. The resistance value is 80 ohms, which determines the rate at which energy is dissipated and affects the braking torque. The braking resistor is a crucial component in VFD systems, preventing overvoltage conditions and ensuring smooth and controlled braking. It protects the drive and motor from potential damage caused by regenerative energy. Proper selection of the braking resistor is essential for optimal performance and reliability of the VFD system. This model is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of industrial applications, providing efficient and reliable braking performance. Its robust design ensures durability and long-term operation in harsh environments.
