Solcon Solbrake DC Injection Brakes

Dynamic Brakes for AC Motors 4-315KW, 220-690V

  • Part Number - Solbrake 17-400-0-S
  • Suitable for motor powers up to 7.5kW*
  • Dimensions 65 mm(W) x 190 mm(H) x 114 mm(D)

*Motor kW ratings are for reference only. The starter must be selected according to the motors nominal current and starting conditions. For severe applications it is recommended to select a higher rating.

The SOLBRAKE is the ultimate replacement for the old electrical braking systems such as Reversing (which may result in reversing the motor rotation) or Regenerative braking (which requires resistors to absorb the energy).

The SOLBRAKE will help to bring your equipment inline with the safety requirements of PUWER 98.

Solid State Motor Brakes provide fast, smooth, frictionless braking of squirrel cage motors by injecting controlled DC current into the motor windings, after mains contactor has opened. This induces a stationary magnetic field which exerts a braking torque on the rotor.

The SOLBRAKE can be used with mechanical brakes to softly bring the motor speed to zero before operating a mechanical brake.
