Reading Aaron’s response made me check the Felder schematics again. I believe the issue is that the brake board is only given single phase power. I can see a “voltage unbalance error” setting because the current is only being pulled from 2 of the 3 legs once the motor is turned off. In light of above, I agree that braking can cause this issue but I wish PP stop calling it a regenerative braking issue.
?I don’t have enough information to conclude that simple model can’t start a hard to start load. As Bruce is able to start his 5HP compressor. Compressors are hard to start unless they have the easy start feature.
This is what PP states about Simple model:
Based on the same phase conversion technology as its bigger brothers, but designed for home shop, light commercial, and single motor applications where the cost of the Enterprise and original Phase Perfect??are prohibitive.
Bruce is definitely better off with Enterprise model as he stated the compressor will run continuously.

I believe the "Simple" models do not have that large capacitor bank that is needed to drive "hard to start" or "braking" machines.? I don't think it's just a matter of an input line filter.? The Simple line is intended for light use and light load types.? I think you'll definitely want to upgrade to the "Enterprise" version if you are intending to use it with an air compressor.? These air compressors are the heavier "hard to start" type of machines.
