It is often the case with electrical drives that energy costs

make up almost 90% of the overall life-cycle costs. With

this in mind, regenerative systems help to reduce the total

cost of ownership.

Baumüller’s tried-and-tested b maXX automation

and drive solution is being expanded with the

addition of the new b maXX 4100 series regenerative

power supplies. These units work in conjunction

with b maXX 4400 series units, and can supply the

DC link voltage to one or more drives. By using a b

maXX 4100. all excess regenerative brake energy

generated by the system is returned to the AC

mains supply rather than wastefully dissipating

this energy as heat.
