Magnetek’s New Dynamic Braking Units Offer Advanced Features for Improved Operation
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. – May 8, 2014
– Magnetek, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAG), a leading provider of digital power and motion control systems for the material handling industry, today announced the launch of the full line of their CDBR-D Dynamic Braking Units. Magnetek’s Dynamic Braking Units work in concert with Dynamic Braking Resistors to dissipate excess energy produced by motors controlled by our IMPULSE® Variable Frequency Drives. CDBR-D Dynamic Braking Units decrease enclosure and panel costs and provide advanced troubleshooting features.
The new CDBR-D Dynamic Braking Units’ features include short circuit protection with an independent fault output, additional diagnostic LEDs, and more available voltage threshold settings. The CDBR-D units are also rated to 60°C ambient operating temperature.
“Our CDBR-D Dynamic Braking Units require up to 40% less panel space than in previous generation CDBR-B models,” said Jason Wellnitz, Magnetek’s controls product manager. “This reduces enclosure and panel costs for our customer and increases catwalk space on the crane.”
For more information about the CDBR-D Dynamic Braking Units or any of Magnetek’s crane and hoist products and services, visit the Company’s website at
