Product Information

Product Family: VersiBrake

The Peter Electronic 29700.40100 VB400-100 is an electronic DC motor braking unit from the VersiBrake family. It provides controlled DC braking for three-phase asynchronous motors in industrial machinery, production equipment and material-handling systems. The unit is designed for 400 V AC applications operating at 50/60 Hz and has a rated device braking current of 100 A.

For a replacement, match the Peter Electronic part number, VB400-100 model/type, 400 V AC supply, 50/60 Hz mains frequency and current ratings to the existing installation. The unit is suitable for three-phase asynchronous motors with rated currents up to 50 A. Before commissioning a spare, check that the motor and machine design are compatible with the 100 A device braking current and the maximum 50 A motor current.

The VB400-100 is intended for fast, controlled stopping rather than general-purpose motor control. When a motor-driven machine stops unexpectedly or braking performance changes, verify the supply voltage and frequency, the three-phase asynchronous motor type and the motor's rated current against the braking unit ratings. The 100 A device current and 50 A maximum motor current are key checks when assessing a replacement VersiBrake motor brake.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

The Peter Electronic 29700.40100 VB400-100 is a replacement option for VersiBrake applications requiring a 100 A rated device braking current and a maximum motor rated current of 50 A. Confirm the part number and model/type, then compare the installation's 400 V AC supply and 50/60 Hz mains frequency with the replacement requirements.

Compatibility depends on matching the braking unit to a three-phase asynchronous motor within the stated current range. Check the motor's rated current and the machine's braking requirements before fitting the spare. The VB400-100 is a dedicated DC braking unit for controlled motor stopping, not a general-purpose motor controller.
