Description
Product name : SACE15RE22 ABB Central control module
Product details:
The ABB SACE15RE22 is primarily a braking resistor designed to work with ABB’s industrial drives, specifically the ACS800, ACS850, and ACS880 series. It’s an essential component for applications requiring rapid deceleration or handling overhauling loads, where excess energy needs to be dissipated as heat.
Product Details
The SACE15RE22 is an accessory for frequency converters (VFDs/drives), serving as a braking unit. Its main function is to dissipate regenerative energy that is generated by the motor during braking or when the load is driving the motor (e.g., a lowering crane or a fan spinning down). Without a braking resistor, this energy would cause the DC bus voltage in the drive to rise, potentially leading to a fault condition and drive shutdown.
Product Parameters
While specific detailed electrical parameters like resistance value (ohms) and power rating (watts) are not universally listed in general overviews, here are some common specifications:
- Product Type: Braking resistor / Braking unit for frequency controller.
- Compatibility: Designed for use with ABB ACS800, ACS850, and ACS880 industrial drives.
- Voltage Range: Often associated with systems operating at 380V to 500V.
- Dimensions (Approximate):
- Net Height: 380 mm
- Net Length: 325 mm
- Net Width: 5.1 mm (This might refer to a specific component or mounting width, as other sources suggest a more substantial unit)
- Net Weight (Approximate): 6.1 kg to 7.0 kg (Weight can vary slightly by source).
- Ingress Protection (IP) Rating: Typically IP21, indicating protection against solid objects greater than 12.5mm and vertically falling drops of water.
- Manufacturer Product ID: 60032211
- EAN/GTIN: 6410038040918
Product Advantages
The ABB SACE15RE22, as part of a well-designed braking system, offers several advantages for drive applications:
- Effective Energy Dissipation: Efficiently dissipates excess regenerative energy, preventing overvoltage faults in the drive.
- Enhanced Control: Enables precise and rapid deceleration of motors, crucial for applications requiring controlled stopping.
- System Protection: Protects the drive from potential damage caused by excessive DC bus voltage.
- Optimized Performance: Allows the drive to operate reliably under varying load conditions, including those with frequent braking cycles.
- Integration with ABB Drives: Seamlessly integrates with ABB’s ACS800, ACS850, and ACS880 series, simplifying installation and commissioning.
- Compact Design: Contributes to a smaller installation footprint when paired with compatible drives that have integrated braking choppers.
Precautions (Important Safety Information)
Working with electrical components, especially those handling significant power, requires strict adherence to safety guidelines. Here are critical precautions related to the ABB SACE15RE22 and similar braking units:
- Qualified Personnel Only: Electrical work, including installation and maintenance, should only be performed by qualified electricians or under their direct guidance and supervision.
- Dangerous Voltage: The braking resistor, braking chopper, and drive terminals can carry dangerously high voltages even after the main power is switched off. Always allow sufficient discharge time (typically 5 minutes or more) for intermediate circuit capacitors to discharge, and always verify with a voltage indicating instrument that the system is de-energized before beginning any work.
- External Control Circuits: Be aware that external control circuits may still carry dangerous voltages inside the drive even when the main power is off.
- Thermal Hazards: Braking resistors dissipate energy as heat and can become extremely hot. Allow them to cool down before handling, and ensure adequate ventilation and clearances during installation to prevent overheating of surrounding components.
- Grounding: Ensure the drive, motor, and all adjoining equipment, including the braking resistor, are properly grounded to ensure personnel safety and prevent electromagnetic interference.
- Dust and Contaminants: Prevent dust, especially electrically conductive dust, from entering the unit during installation, as this can cause damage or malfunction.
- No Insulation/Voltage Withstand Tests on Drive/Modules: Do not perform insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive or drive modules, as this can damage the equipment.
- Read Manuals: Always refer to the manufacturer’s detailed installation and safety manuals for the specific braking resistor and the associated drive for complete and up-to-date safety instructions.
Product Applications
The ABB SACE15RE22 braking resistor is typically used in applications where a motor needs to be rapidly decelerated or where there are overhauling loads that cause the motor to act as a generator. Common applications include:
- Cranes and Hoists: Essential for controlling the lowering of heavy loads, preventing overspeed and absorbing regenerative energy.
- Conveyors: Used in systems where loads might cause the conveyor to overrun the motor, or where rapid stopping is required for safety or process control.
- Test Benches: For controlled braking of motors or other equipment under test.
- Centrifuges: To quickly bring the rotating mass to a stop.
- Elevators/Lifts: To control the descent of the cabin, especially when the load is lighter than the counterweight.
- Winders/Unwinders: In processes where tension control requires precise stopping or handling of material as it unwinds.
- Machine Tools: For accurate positioning and quick stops of axes.
- Fans with High Inertia: To shorten the run-down time of large fans after power is removed.
