Aluminum-Housed Braking Resistor
The RXLG family combines a wirewound element, ceramic support and aluminum housing. The datasheet lists power, resistance range, mass and mounting dimensions. Braking selection depends on pulse energy, duty and cooling as well as nominal wattage.

Document revision and selection notes
Important note 1
The short-overload test uses 10× rated power or the maximum-working-voltage constraint, whichever is more restrictive, for 5 s; resistance change is ≤±(2%R+0.05 Ω). This test is not a repetitive-braking duty rating.
PDF p. 2
Page 2 includes temperature and duty derating curves; the duty graph uses a maximum 120 s cycle
Page 2 includes temperature and duty derating curves; the duty graph uses a maximum 120 s cycle. A graph’s temperature axis must not be presented as the permitted ambient operating range.

The general range says 60 W–10 kW, but the model table also includes 11 kW
The general range says 60 W–10 kW, but the model table also includes 11 kW. Confirm that row with the manufacturer rather than assuming an approved extension of the general range.

The manufacturer rejects a leads-upward orientation and shows horizontal or leads-down arrangements
The manufacturer rejects a leads-upward orientation and shows horizontal or leads-down arrangements. Damaged housings or connections must not be used.

Important note 6
The connection text loosely refers to the DC bus; it must not be published as an instruction to connect a resistor directly across the bus. Verify actual braking terminals and switching circuitry against the drive manual.

Information needed for selection
Providing the following information helps our technical team select the correct product and accessories.
- What are the drive/chopper minimum resistance, braking energy, pulse duration, repetition interval and ambient temperature?
- How will cabinet cooling, hot-surface protection, fire safety and cable temperature rating be addressed? This datasheet gives no numerical clearance.
