RZW02.1-015-015

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RZW02.1-015-015 braking resistor is a robust component in the RZW Braking Resistors series, engineered for high-performance drive control systems. Featuring a continuous power rating of 15 kW and a fixed resistor, steel housing construction, it provides reliable energy absorption during dynamic motor braking. With an IP20 protection rating and weight of approximately 6.2 kg, this resistor delivers consistent performance in industrial automation applications, safeguarding drives and panels against energy surges.

Designed to endure demanding operational profiles, the RZW02.1-015-015 offers a thermal time constant of 100 s for steady energy dissipation and supports a peak power of 14 kW at 6 % duty. The resistor’s minimum resistance of 17.5 Ω and peak resistance of 18 Ω ensure precise control over braking loads. Rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C and a 15 % operating duty cycle, it excels in repetitive stop-start scenarios. The grounded conductor cross-section requirement of ≥10 mm² and standardized order code example reinforce seamless integration into existing drive enclosures.

Beyond core specifications, the RZW02.1-015-015’s steel housing enhances heat dissipation and mechanical protection, extending durability in harsh environments. Its IP20 ingress protection and compact footprint enable installation within varied cabinet designs, while the moderate weight aids mounting planning. The resistor’s fixed type structure minimizes vibration under continuous braking, promoting operational efficiency. In industrial settings, this braking resistor ensures safer, more precise stopping functions, reducing wear on drive components and enhancing the reliability of automation processes.
