Specialists from SKB-2 KMZ have created an innovative cabinet for braking resistors, which will protect slipeway winch control systems from overheating when launching ships.
When a ship is launched from a slipway, the winch operates in braking mode, where kinetic and potential energy are converted into electrical energy on the windings of the electric motor. To prevent damage to the power elements of the control system, this energy must be disposed of.
Braking resistors successfully cope with this task, converting excess energy into heat. But KMZ engineers went further — they created a special cabinet for resistors, equipped with temperature control sensors and an efficient cooling system. This solution allows heat to be safely dissipated into the environment, preventing equipment overheating.
The developers took into account all the nuances of the system — from temperature control to efficient cooling. Now, when launching ships, you don't have to worry about overheating of braking systems, which significantly increases the safety and reliability of the entire process.
