Arkel 25Ω 2000W Brake Resistor for 15kW Elevator ADrive

The Arkel 25Ω 2000W Brake Resistor is an original elevator braking resistance designed for 15kW Elevator ADrive and VVVF inverter applications. It is used in elevator control panels to absorb regenerative braking energy produced during deceleration and convert it into heat.

In traction elevator systems, the motor may feed energy back into the inverter during braking or downward travel. If this energy is not handled correctly, the inverter DC bus voltage can rise and cause overvoltage faults. The Arkel 1001430 braking resistor helps stabilize the drive system by dissipating this excess energy safely.

Technical Specifications

Designed for 15kW Elevator ADrive Applications

The Arkel 25 Ohm 2000W brake resistor is suitable for 15kW Elevator ADrive inverter systems where controlled braking and stable inverter operation are required. It is commonly used in traction elevator systems, lift modernization panels, and professional elevator drive applications.

This resistor helps the drive system manage braking energy during frequent start-stop cycles, reducing the risk of DC bus overvoltage and improving overall elevator reliability.

Why a Brake Resistor Is Needed in Elevator Inverters

During elevator braking, the motor can operate as a generator and return energy to the inverter. Without a suitable braking resistor, this returned energy may increase the DC bus voltage and trigger drive protection faults.

A correctly selected brake resistor helps the inverter manage this energy safely by converting it into heat. This supports stable operation, smoother stopping performance, and more reliable elevator service.

• Helps prevent DC bus overvoltage faults
• Improves braking stability during deceleration
• Supports reliable elevator stopping performance
• Protects inverter operation under braking load
• Suitable for frequent elevator start-stop cycles

Ventilated Metal Housing for Heat Dissipation

The Arkel 1001430 brake resistor is built with a ventilated metal housing to support heat dissipation. Since braking resistors convert electrical braking energy into heat, correct installation and airflow are critical for safe operation.

The resistor should be installed in a suitable location inside or near the elevator control system, with enough clearance from heat-sensitive components, cables, plastic parts, and electronic boards.

Installation and Safety Notes

Brake resistors can reach high surface temperatures during operation. Installation should only be performed by qualified elevator technicians or electrical professionals familiar with VVVF inverter systems and elevator control panels.

• Install the resistor in a well-ventilated area
• Keep sufficient clearance around the resistor for airflow
• Do not place heat-sensitive cables or components directly near the resistor
• Use correct cable sizing and secure terminal connections
• Check the inverter and elevator drive manual before commissioning
• Do not touch the resistor immediately after operation
• Always disconnect power before installation or replacement
