At this year’s Hannover Messe, Michael Koch GmbH is presenting the safe, halogen-free BWG-HF braking resistor with a high degree of protection and touch protection. It meets the relevant environmental requirements and offers two electrical ratings: 240 or 400 watts of continuous power, or 35 times the braking power at one percent duty cycle and a 120-second cycle time. The range of resistance values covers the range from five to 300 ohms. The cable length is determined on a case-by-case basis. The cable is mechanically protected by an additional plastic sleeve, which fully meets the requirements of decentralized drive technology in harsh environments. The cable end is also customized to the specific order: a variety of options are available, including customized connector solutions. For large quantities, this also applies to product labeling, instructions, and packaging. Here, too, Koch demonstrates its usual flexibility.
