S SIGMA is our range of MODULAR BRAKE RESISTORS. Thanks to the modular construction it is possible also at small quantities to supply an optimum solution to any problem concerning start- or brake resistors in connection with frequency converters.
The resistor components consist of fully welded wire wound ceramic resistors, which is a well-known and approved technology.
The base material is corderite, which is a type of ceramic with a very high resistance to temperature changes and the wire is coated with aluminium phosphate to protect the wire and conduct the heat developed in the wire on to the ceramic core. Aluminium-phosphate is stable at 700°C
.
 


The modular resistor cages comply with IP20 and give electrical and thermal protection.
The resistors have a nominal load from 100W and upward and are particularly suitable for pulse load of 10 - 20 time or more compared to the nominal load because of the ceramic core material and an extra high weight of wire.
We have developed thermal models corresponding to all resistor types and resistor values. By using these models we are able to calculate the rises in temperature in the resistor wire for all possible load situations. Danotherm offers our assistance to our customers to find the optimum solution for any situation.


Each SIGMA-MODULE is supplied with resistor components corresponding to the actual load. The mechanical sizes are shown in the table. In principle as many components as necessary can be mounted together.
The modules can be supplied as open resistors (only resistor and mounting brackets) or with protection grating according to IP20 and with a ceramic housing connector or with a connector box.
It is possible to have a thermostat which works as a temperature watch and high voltage versions >400VDC.
