products are diverse and sometimes complex. This tool makes getting you an accurate
quotation a snap! (or maybe a click?)
Datasheets by product type - the
information our engineers use daily to support our customers has been captured
in these concise, informative publications.
Complete application support - we offer
publications developed to capture our depth of applied knowledge in power resistor
applications. If you can't find it there, our 24 hour support line is listed at
the top of EVERY PAGE.

COMING FALL OF 2009:
Type BM High Capacity Braking Modules
Product Overview
Powerohm is pleased to announce in the fall of 2009, we will expand our current Type BM Braking Module offering to include a high capacity line of braking modules. These modules will feature programmable voltages of 208, 240, 380, 460, 575, 600, 690, and 720 volts. Each voltage will be available in 300, 600, 900, and 1200 amp continuous models. The high capacity Powerohm Type BM Modules will help to eliminate costly Master/Slave configurations in high power applications by eliminating the need for a second braking module and resistor. Always at the forefront of technology, Powerohm will offer Profibus and Ethernet communications on certain models. Watch for the release of this exciting new product.
Product Overview
The Powerohm Type BM Braking Module is available
in three different voltage classes including 240, 480
and 600 volts with continuous current ratings available
in 50 and 115 amps. The Type BM Module can be
used in conjunction with any AC Drive not only
to avoid over-voltage trips, but to greatly
improve the performance of the drive system.
The use of Braking Modules and resistors
increase the braking torque capability of a
variable frequency drive, allowing faster and
more controlled deceleration times. To
accommodate higher horsepower system
requirements beyond the capability of a single
Module, the Modules are all Master/Slave
programmable.
