LAMBDA OBR OPEN WIREWOUND BRAKE RESISTORS (Preliminary Datasheet)
 


LAMBDA OBR is a range of Open wire wound Brake Resistors. They are especially suitable for customer specified constructions with specific demands to mechanical sizes. The resistors are supplied as single components or as stacked resistor banks.
The resistors have protection class IP00, but we can supply Lambda resistors mounted in housings with protection class IP20 up to IP23.

Construction
The resistor wire is wound around special ceramic insulators with grooves keeping the wire in the right position. Metal plates support the insulators as shown on the drawing below.
For higher insulation levels, than specified in this data sheet, the supporting metal plates are insulated with ceramic insulators.
The resistors have solid terminals with screw holes for M5 screw connection.
The terminals are connected to the resistor wire by either welding or screw connection.

External Connection
Power cables can be connected to the terminals either by normal screw connection or welded on the factory.

Load ability of Lambda Resistors depends on the mechanical size and the specific resistor wire. The table shows some examples of the power of some Lambda components.
When Lambda components are stacked in resistor banks the load / component must be reduced.
