BGE 1.5

The BGE brake rectifier is a half-wave rectifier with over-voltage protection elements and electronic control for reducing the brake release reaction times. The brake operation is improved by the BGE rectifier in that it releases the brake initially by super-magnetization and then holds the stationary discsecurely withreduced magnetization. Due to the exceedingly reduced brake release reaction time t1the brake is released before the motor can build up torque and begin to rotate. Minimum wear with maximum service life and excellent switching ability are the outstanding features of the brake system.In the continuous released state the current losses are reduced to the necessary minimum so the thermal loading of the brake is very low.

The use of the BGE Brake Rectifier is recommended if:
•Short brake release reaction times are required.
•High starting frequencies are encountered.
•High ambient temperature is present or the brake is required to be in the continuous released state while the motor is at rest or operating at low speeds.
