VB 230-40 DC braking unit
The DC electronic brake VersiBrake [40 – 600 A] serves for the rapid, safe and wear-free braking of three-phase motors. It is microcontroller-controlled, designed for industrial continuous operation and ensures uniform, reproducible braking behavior. Thanks to its modular design and integrated brake protector (up to 60 A), the VersiBrake series can be easily integrated into existing systems.

Note:
When using IE3-Motoren, higher starting and braking currents must be taken into account. We recommend that soft start and brake devices should in principle be dimensioned one higher power level.
