The braking resistor REOHM 154 protects the machine from a voltage rise in the intermediate circuit, if an electric machine operates as a generator (Electromotive brake). The current reduces also the speed of the machine.
The serie REOHM 154 is available as braking resistor (series BW) or as charging resistor (series R).
As 154 R (Charging resistor, damping resistor, filter resistance, etc.)
The charging resistor is a current limiting resistor for the charging and discharging of capacitors and limitates for example the current flowing into the intermediate circuit capacitor inrush current. For this the device must be designed for a high single pulse energy and nominal voltage. The inductance of the resistor contributes to limit the inrush current, so wirewound resistors are the right choice.

Higher power ratings on request
The ratings apply for 100 % duty cycle and free access and exit of cooling air.
In general: Is the ambient temperature higher than 40 °C, the continuous power must be reduced by 5 % per 10 K temperature rise.

Surface temperature increase, even over temperature, describes the increase in surface temperature when loaded.
The power ratings apply for continuous duty. The power ratings can be increased in short-time operation in function of duty cycle by multiplication with the relevant factor from the diagram below or according to the formula as follows.
