Bonitron

M3452 Heavy Duty Braking Transistor

Bonitron remains a leader in the field of high horsepower braking and proudly maintains its reputation for durability and reliability, with models rated up to 1600A.

Bonitron Braking Transistors are used with AC drives to allow full power braking and eliminate overvoltage faults. This permits controlled braking and dramatically shortens motor stopping time. The M3452 works with Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) to monitor the DC bus. If overvoltage occurs, the M3452 shunts the excess energy through a braking resistor to prevent overvoltage faults. (Standard and custom braking resistors are also available from Bonitron. For more information see the M3775R series).

Optional advanced diagnostics allow for remote monitoring, while local indicators assist in pinpointing issues. Remote configuration and networking capabilities add to the flexibility and reliability of your overall system and reduce your installation wiring.
