There should be a "P" and "N" terminal. THAT is the connection for the external braking resistor on your Huanyang. BTW, another point- I have seen (but not worked with) a "DC brake" feature on both my X200 and your Huanyang. I believe that's because regen braking becomes much less effective at

Actually at least the X200 and WJ200 have integral interal braking resistors- but, for practical reasons of space and cooling, they're undersized and only "remedial". They can't absorb the full current of high-speed braking that the drive can potentially deliver. Danny On 3/13/2016 1:14 PM,

I DID see there's "braking units" AND "braking resistors". I am unclear on what's inside a braking unit. I am sure it has a self-resetting breaker at least. But that is not even all that good to have- opening of the breaker would cause the VFD to go into an overvolt error state. You won't

From what I gather, the primary factor is the motor voltage and drive hp. A 2.2KW motor with a 2.2KW drive on 208v is 10.6 amps. Well, the phase currents are a different calc, and we're also talking about the main bus cap in the VFD which is rectified off the 208v source. So these numbers ha

The H-number must always be an integer. This applies whether it is going to a standard gcode like G43, G43.2, or G76, or if it is going to a remapped code. This limitation cannot be changed without modifying the C++ code of the gcode interpreter. Jeff ---
