3HAC032586-001 Discharge resistance High stored kinetic and potential energy

3HAC032586-001 is a drain resistor manufactured by ABB for use in control cabinets for its industrial robots. The main role of this resistor is to safely release the accumulated energy in the drive system in the event of a power failure, thereby protecting other components of the robot system from damage.

When the industrial robot is powered off, its joints and other parts may store high kinetic energy and potential energy, if not through the appropriate discharge flow, these energies may cause impact on the electronic control system, leading to system damage or reduce the service life of the system. Therefore, discharge resistance plays an important role in this process.

The 3HAC032586-001 discharge resistor has some unique features. First, it's easy to set up and install, with a space-saving integrated panel and communication port. Second, it has a flexible protective housing and mounting options that can be attached directly to the DIN rail or mounted on the panel, providing additional flexibility. In addition, drain resistors allow converters to be mounted side-by-side, with no gaps even at ambient temperatures up to 40°C, saving valuable panel space. Finally, the optional IP30(NEMA Type 1) catheter housing can be easily applied to products with standard IP20(NEMA Open), thus increasing the level of environmental tolerance.


Overall, the 3HAC032586-001 is a fully functional, easy to set up and install drain resistor for use in the control cabinet of ABB industrial robots, ensuring that the robot can safely release energy after power failure and protect other components of the system.
