Reliance 2SR40400

The 2SR40400 is a 400 W snubber/braking resistor unit for 460 VAC (600 VDC max) industrial drives (e.g., Reliance GP‑2000). It dissipates regenerative energy and suppresses DC‑bus voltage spikes during motor deceleration, protecting drive power semiconductors. OEM is discontinued; refurbished/surplus units are common for legacy systems.

Interface & Indicators

  • Power Terminals: DC+ / DC− (connect to drive DC bus)

  • Status LEDs:

    • DC Bus Lamp: ON when >50 VDC present

    • Braking Active Lamp: ON during energy dissipation

  • Fault Contact: Dry contact for remote alarm signaling

Core Functions

  • Regenerative Energy Dissipation: Converts excess motor energy to heat during braking

  • Voltage Spike Suppression: Protects IGBTs from overvoltage (OV) faults

  • Compact Passive Cooling: 400 W continuous without a fan

  • LED Status Monitoring: Local visual indication of DC bus and braking activity

  • Legacy Compatibility: Direct drop‑in for Reliance GP‑2000 460 VAC systems

Application Scenarios

  • Reliance GP‑2000 Drives: 460 VAC, 1–5 HP systems

  • General Industrial: Conveyors, pumps, fans with frequent start/stop

  • Legacy Automation: Replacement for failed 2SR40400 in 460 VAC drive panels

Usage & Maintenance

  • Installation: Mount vertically; allow 100 mm clearance for airflow

  • Wiring: Use 14 AWG (2.5 mm²) stranded copper; torque terminals to 1.2 N·m

  • Power‑Up: Verify DC bus voltage ≤600 VDC before connecting

  • Maintenance: Quarterly—inspect terminals, clean dust, check LED operation

  • Safety: Disconnect all power; wait 5 minutes for capacitors to discharge
