Our patented braking systems for your safety.
CSN® braking resistors are used for the controlled braking of all types of electrical or electromechanical drives. The resistors convert the kinetic energy generated by braking the system into thermal energy and then release it into the environment (or the cooling medium).
The robust design of CSN® braking resistors makes them ideal for use in maritime environments. Our portfolio includes various design variants for cooling and a wide range of active materials for the most diverse environmental conditions.
The leading manufacturers of frequency converters therefore rely on Schniewindt resistors. Thanks to our many years of experience and quality in this field, we have become the world market leader.
