Product Description

Travel Regeneration Resistors are a necessity on all horizontal motion (bridge/trolley/monorail) applied Variable Speed drives.  Regeneration Resistors on PE® drives are not required on the majority of hoists with Weston type style INTERNAL load brakes – this is another unique feature of PE® drives on hoist applications.  Smart-Move® drives and the CX™ model size a2 and a2d (up to 5HP) have heavy-duty resistor banks built-in as one integrated drive solution.  For the larger systems, it is not feasible to place larger resistor wattage inside the electronic enclosure, so a separate resistor bank is required. Use the above tables to find the appropriate paring of PE® VFD models and resistors.

PE Resistors Are Uniquely Designed for Heavy-Duty Crane Drive Applications

Unlike all other drive types in the marketplace, the PE® VFD line has the unique feature of having the ELECTRONIC portion of the regeneration circuitry built-in and integrated into all standard drives, thus giving PE® drives the highest reliability in overhead crane/hoist applications.  Also, it makes for a very simple and quick installation of the drive with no expensive electronics (regeneration or dynamic braking options) required.  All that is needed in addition to the drive, are the specially designed “touch-safe” external PE® regeneration resistor banks.

Only use PE® resistor banks for highest reliability and safety. It is NOT advisable to use “open-form” resistors on any variable speed drive.  The use of open-form “off-the-shelf” resistors are a hazard to life and property when used with variable speed equipment.  High DC Voltages are present, which have the capability of being life-threatening, even for a short period of time after the main power has been removed from a control panel.
