AT's quoted prices on their web page, a/o this morning, were uniformly all $435 with a note they also needed some sort of a controller interface too, price UNK on that. Looking in the small booklet for this FVD, an ASKPOWER A131, they don't offer a lot of data, but do say a 1.5 kw should use a 100 ohm resistor that can stand 250 watts for the short duty cycle situation. But the bigger concern is that the braking rsistor terminals P & B, are not to be found on the customer interface, nor on the top, logic board in the device. Possibly on the power output board, but I haven't dissed it far enough to see that if that is where they are. Can anyone else advise me on this, or do I have a vfd that cannot do this? > On 3/13/2016 8:47 AM, Gene Heskett wrote: > > On Sunday 13 March 2016 09:30:30 John Thornton wrote: > >> I just used the the one for by the drive.
