About the 913FK0150
Reliance Electric’s 913FK0150 is a 15 HP, 460 V AC Dynamic Braking Kit designed to expand the capabilities of the FlexPak3000 series. The dynamic braking system allows the FlexPak unit to slow down a rotating DC motor and the associated load when the motor is disconnected from the drive. It closes the DB contactor and connects the DB resistor. All in all, the 913FK0150 offers optimal dynamic braking capabilities, effectively dissipating excess kinetic energy and ensuring smooth and controlled deceleration of motors and machinery. The kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, which efficiently prevents motor coasting and minimizes the risk of mechanical stress on the primary unit.
The installation process is streamlined and straightforward, thanks to a comprehensive installation manual (which can be found on AX Control’s website) and well-marked components. This kit is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing systems, minimizing downtime during setup. The compact design of this dynamic braking kit also ensures it can be easily accommodated within existing control panels or cabinets, optimizing space utilization. The 913FK0150 unit can be mounted on the roof of the drive cabinet or inside the drive’s enclosure. Users should ensure that the wiring guide in the D2-3374-4 instruction manual is closely followed to maximize kit efficiency and ensure operator safety.
