Braking resistor for Altivar 58 — obsolete, sourced to order
The VW3A58735 is a braking resistor from Schneider Electric's Altivar 58 drive family, rated for 110 VAC at 0.3 A and 24 VDC at 0.01 A control voltage. It dissipates regenerative energy from the DC bus during deceleration, preventing overvoltage trips on the drive. Sourcing runs through independent surplus and broker channels; quantities are confirmed per RFQ.
IP30 enclosure, dimensions, and panel fit
The resistor measures 13.4 in (340 mm) high, 6.4 in (163 mm) wide, and 2.6 in (65 mm) deep. The IP30 rating means it is protected against tools and wires larger than 2.5 mm — suitable for enclosure mounting where splash or dust ingress is not a concern. It is a single-unit package (1 piece per box), intended as a direct bolt-in accessory for an Altivar 58 drive cabinet. No DIN-rail clip is specified — expect screw-mounting to the panel backplate.
