Additional Crohm Brake Resistors

June 10, 2026-AutomationDirect now offers additional Crohm brake resistors that are designed and manufactured in the USA and feature rugged construction, industry-standard wattage/ohm combinations, and compatibility with drives up to 600 VAC.

The new additions include encapsulated flat mount PL-series models (from 200W to 500W) that provide compact, durable options ideal for installations where panel space and thermal management are key considerations. For more flexible mounting requirements, the new open-coil PT-series resistors, ranging from 240W to 1.5kW, deliver excellent heat dissipation and broad resistance value coverage. For finger-safe applications, the NEMA 1 enclosed models (from 240W to 22.5kW) are a great choice. If an outdoor-rated solution is required, the NEMA 3R enclosed models (from 800W to 6.9kW) are rain-proof. Both NEMA-rated enclosed versions incorporate a built-in normally closed thermal switch for added safety.

With wattages spanning from 200W to 22.5kW and dozens of configuration options, these new Crohm resistors ensure proper energy regeneration management for nearly any VFD application.
