Dynamic braking resistor
A dynamic braking resistor converts regenerated drive energy into heat through a compatible braking circuit. It is an energy-dissipation component, distinct from a mechanical motor brake or a regenerative unit returning energy to the supply. Dissipate drive regeneration under a defined braking cycle.

ENERGY & ELECTRICAL
Line reactor
A line reactor introduces inductive impedance on an electrical supply or drive input to address a defined power-quality or drive-protection duty. This guide concerns input-side reactors, keeping motor-output filtering as a separate technology decision. Input impedance and harmonic interaction guide drive-line conditioning.

ENERGY & ELECTRICAL
Motor brake unit
A motor brake unit applies mechanical braking torque through a compatible brake assembly; spring-applied designs engage when electrical release power is removed. This guide is distinct from dissipating motor regeneration in a resistor or controlling deceleration through a drive. Controlled stopping requires inertia and energy-dissipation calculation.

ENERGY & ELECTRICAL
Motor output filter
A motor output filter conditions the waveform between a drive and motor for a defined cable and insulation duty. Sine-wave filters, dv/dt filters and output reactors address different effects and should not be treated as interchangeable components. Long motor cables require voltage-rise and insulation review.

Motor soft starter
A motor soft starter controls the electrical starting and stopping behavior of a suitable motor to reduce defined mechanical or supply stresses. It is a starting-control device, distinct from a variable-frequency drive intended to regulate running speed. Controlled starting voltage reduces starting stress without continuous speed control.

Regenerative drive unit
A regenerative drive unit transfers suitable braking energy from a drive system back toward the electrical supply through a compatible power-conversion arrangement. It is distinct from a resistor that turns regenerated energy into heat. Return braking energy to the supply under network constraints.
