The Siemens 6SE6400-4BD12-0BA0 is a robust braking resistor designed to enhance the performance of inverter drives within industrial automation systems. This component is part of the esteemed Simovert family and is engineered to work seamlessly with MICROMASTER 4 series drives. With a resistance value of 160 ohms and the capability to handle a peak power of 4000 watts and a continuous power of 200 watts, it is an essential part for managing the deceleration of motor-driven applications.
The braking resistor operates effectively within a voltage range of 380 to 480 volts, making it versatile for various electrical setups. Its compact dimensions, 239 x 149 x 43.5 mm (height x width x depth), ensure that it can be integrated into systems where space is at a premium without compromising performance. The IP20 rating of the resistor indicates that it is designed for installation in environments where protection against solid objects is necessary, but it is not rated for protection against water ingress.
This part is characterised by its reliability and durability, which are critical for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of drive systems in demanding industrial settings. It is particularly suitable for applications that require precise control over the stopping and starting of motors, such as conveyor belts, lifts, and machining equipment. The Siemens 6SE6400-4BD12-0BA0 is a testament to quality engineering, providing a solution that ensures smooth operation and safety in industrial automation.
