Murr.  FRIZLEN launches its popular steel-grid resistors in a new compact form of construction, which requires less space at the same high short time energy absorption. Made of 3 mm instead of 1 mm steel sheets the resistors allow a 2.5 times higher energy absorption.
Thanks to a new geometry of the resistor elements we build compact blocks of several elements that will only take about 25% of the previous space at the same energy absorption capacity.

The new FRIZLEN product is meant for those fields of applications that demand high short time energy absorption. This can be in emergency-stop functions of large drives, e.g. as three-phase resistor to be connected directly to the motor windings.
Another operating field are wind energy plants having to fulfill the so-called “fault-ride-through” requirement of network operators. This means that wind energy plants must ride through net faults of a few seconds without reducing the production of energy. The compact steel-grid resistors by FRIZLEN absorb the energy produced during these seconds and therefore contribute to net stability.

The new 3 mm steel-grid resistors which are copyrighted by FRIZLEN are available since beginning of 2013.
