Schneider Electric VW3A16601 Dynamic Braking Module

Schneider Electric VW3A16601 Dynamic Braking Module provides external regenerative energy dissipation for Altivar 16 AC variable frequency drives, enabling controlled rapid deceleration of high-inertia loads. Designed as an external drive accessory, it mounts on AM1-ED mounting rails and uses an external braking resistor (VW3A16705) to safely dissipate energy during braking. Commonly used in conveyors, hoists, packaging machinery, machine tools, and material handling equipment to improve braking performance and reduce drive fault conditions. Compatible with ATV16U09M2 and ATV16U18M2 drive models and identified by MPN VW3A16601, this Telemecanique (Schneider Electric) module supports dynamic braking for high-inertia and overhauling load applications.
