Mitsubishi Electric FR BU2 Specification

The Mitsubishi Electric FR-BU2 is a high-performance braking unit designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of variable frequency drives (VFDs) by managing excess regenerative energy during deceleration. This braking unit is crucial for applications that require rapid stopping or involve high inertia loads, ensuring stable operation even under demanding conditions.

The FR-BU2 series is engineered to be compatible with a range of Mitsubishi Electric inverters, offering seamless integration and reliable performance. It provides dynamic braking by dissipating the regenerative energy through a resistor, preventing over-voltage conditions in the DC link of the VFD. The unit supports a wide power range, accommodating various industrial applications, and is built with robust components to ensure durability and long service life.

Featuring a compact design, the FR-BU2 series allows for easy installation and space-saving in control panels. It includes built-in safety features such as overheat protection and fault signal output, enhancing operational safety and offering straightforward maintenance. The unit operates efficiently across a broad temperature range, maintaining consistent performance in diverse environmental conditions.

Additionally, the FR-BU2 is designed to comply with international standards, ensuring it meets the global requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Its advanced technology and reliable functionality make it a vital component for optimizing the performance of Mitsubishi Electric drive systems, contributing to energy savings and operational efficiency.
