Manufacturers always ask themselves the same question when searching for the right braking resistance: How can I design a resistance correctly? What continuous power do I need for cyclic operation over a specific duration? What is the ideal way to design the resistance?

The power calculator offers solutions to all these questions with the help of the product finder on the website www.reohm.de, created specifically for this purpose.
Customers without technical expertise can quickly find the right resistor. In addition to real-time power calculation, the customer receives a product recommendation tailored to their needs. This minimizes the time spent on consultation and product searches.

“It has been shown that in practice, customers often use braking resistors that are too large or too small, which can compromise safety during use,” says Sven Reimann, product developer and board member. With the help of reohm.de, customers can calculate the appropriate resistance value (ohms) and input the corresponding continuous power rating to obtain a recommended REO product.

The product finder is designed for compact coils, liquid-cooled or air-cooled coils, damping and load coils, and coils suitable for harsh environments. In addition, the page offers customers other personalized recommendations.

REO AG offers the option of performing additional calculations using a specification sheet created specifically for this purpose. The dedicated department handles the detailed calculations and contacts the customer.
