My Teco VFD specifies a 70 Ohm, 200 Watt braking resistor. I did
some quick looking on eBay and Mouser. It looks like the least
expensive ones are the open tube ones - BUT at around $33 and up. Is
there a less expensive place to buy these or a different way to search
either site that would bring up the less expensive alternatives?



Think suplus places as well. You can use multiple resistors if
you don't mind the simple math.
