Why Choose the Lovato VLBXR015 Braking Resistor?

The Lovato VLBXR015 is a dedicated braking resistor for Lovato VLB3 variable speed drives, designed to support controlled motor deceleration in industrial drive applications. It dissipates excess regenerative energy produced during braking, helping the drive manage stopping cycles safely and reliably.

This braking resistor is suitable for applications where motors need to slow down quickly, stop frequently or handle medium-inertia loads. By providing an external route for braking energy, the VLBXR015 helps reduce overvoltage trips, improve stopping performance and support dependable machine operation.

With a 15 Ω resistance value, 800 W power rating and compatibility with Lovato VLB3 drives from 18.5 to 22 kW, the VLBXR015 is a practical accessory for industrial control panels, OEM machinery and automation systems using Lovato variable speed drives.

Reliable Dynamic Braking for Industrial Drives

During rapid deceleration, an electric motor can return energy to the drive. A braking resistor converts this excess energy into heat, helping the variable speed drive maintain stable operation during stopping cycles and braking events.

The Lovato VLBXR015 is designed for compatible VLB3 drive systems, making it a dependable choice for applications that require controlled stopping, reduced downtime and improved protection against braking-related overvoltage conditions.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial variable speed drive installations.
  • Conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Medium-inertia rotating equipment.
  • Machine builder and OEM automation systems.
  • Industrial motor control panels.
