Vishay Intertechnology HCPP14466-23 Power Resistor

Powerohm HCPP14466-23 (USR000068) is a 400-ohm, 950-watt high-power industrial resistor from Powerohm (Hubbell) designed to dissipate excess electrical energy as heat in heavy-duty electrical and drive applications. It is commonly used as a braking resistor or load resistor in variable-frequency drive systems, helping protect equipment and control motor deceleration by absorbing regenerative energy. This industrial wirewound resistor assembly is air-cooled (natural or forced cooling depending on installation) and panel- or enclosure-mounted to suit industrial enclosures. Key specifications include a resistance value of 400 ohms, a power rating of 950 watts, and a rugged construction tailored for demanding environments. Typical applications include VFD braking systems, cranes, hoists, conveyors, and other motor control setups where regenerative energy must be dissipated to prevent overvoltage conditions. The product is identified by model HCPP14466-23 and secondary number USR000068, aligning with Powerohm's braking and load resistor offerings for industrial automation and energy-dissipation needs.
