ABB NBRA-659C External Braking Chopper
1. Product Overview
Model / Order Code: NBRA-659C, ordering code 3ABD58930822, internal code 59006436
Series: ABB ACS800 series (compatible with ACS510, ACS550, ACS580 and other low-voltage drives)
Main Function: Quickly absorbs and dissipates regenerated energy during motor braking, preventing overvoltage/overcurrent surges and ensuring safe, smooth deceleration of the system.

Up to 403 kW (depending on braking cycle, resistance, etc.) |
| Resistance |
Nominal resistance Rₙ: 1.2 Ω / 1.43 Ω; minimum resistance Rₘᵢₙ: 1.2 Ω / 1.35 Ω |
| Duty Cycle |
1 min ON / 5 min OFF |
| Effective Current (Irms) |
468 A / 391 A (for different voltage levels) |
| Weight |
Approx. 24 kg |
| Safety / Environment |
UL & CE certified, IP00 protection, suitable for harsh industrial environments |
3. Typical Applications
Drive systems requiring fast and smooth braking: conveyors, cranes, elevators, fans, pumps, compressors, crushers, etc.
Environments where regenerative energy feedback is limited or unavailable: when regenerative energy cannot be fed back into the grid and must be dissipated.
Designed for use with ACS800-series drives: ACS510, ACS550, ACS580, ACS800, and other low-voltage VFDs.
4. Selection & Usage Recommendations
Confirm drive voltage: Choose the 230 V, 400 V, or 500 V version according to site power supply (all correspond to NBRA-659C).
Calculate braking power requirements: Ensure required braking power ≤ 403 kW, based on motor power, braking time, and regenerated energy.
Check braking resistor specifications: For higher braking power, match with appropriate braking resistors (resistance values provided above).
Wiring: Use the DC+ / DC– terminals provided by the ACS800 drive. Follow official wiring diagrams and ensure cable cross-sections meet current requirements.
Maintenance: Periodically inspect the heatsink, terminals, and protective cover. Maintain proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
Conclusion
The ABB NBRA-659C is an external braking chopper designed for the ACS800 low-voltage drive family. Operating on 230–500 V AC (513–707 V DC), it provides up to 403 kW of braking power. With a compact design, UL/CE certifications, and high reliability, it is ideal for industrial drive systems that require fast and safe braking.
