I just called Reliance about the cost for the braking resistor. I
nearly fainted when I heard a number over $300!!! This thing is a
little more than the resistor, there is also the control logic that
gets it into the circuit when the DC bus voltage goes up. I
understand that some drives have the logic in the drive, and the
resistor is the only external part. But looking around I still see
this as a really high $ item. Wow!!! My drive cost me $80... it's
used, of course, and there's no way I'll stumble across a specialized
accessory like that. Still hard to swallow the price!

What is the spec on the resistor that you need?
How many watts, ohms?
