M3452 - Heavy Duty Braking Transistor


B7 Chassis

- Up to 2300hp | Up to 100% Duty -

Bonitron’s line of M3452 Braking Modules continues to expand and improve. With models rated up to 2300hp, Bonitron remains a leader in the field of high horsepower braking and maintains its reputation for durability and reliability.

M3452 Braking Transistor Modules 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 Frequency Drives (VFD) 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 M3775RK series.

For high duty and overhauling loads, the Bonitron M3452 series allows for continuous, high horsepower braking. Optional advanced diagnostics allow for remote monitoring, while local indicators can pinpoint the cause of faults without diagnostic equipment. This allows you to get your systems up and running with minimal downtime. Remote configuration adds to the flexibility and reliability of your overall system. Optional networking capabilities reduce your installation wiring to allow for remote monitoring of all status outputs and operation of configuration inputs.

With the new networking options, diagnostic and control functions are now available on two of the most common remote I/O networks.
