Milwaukee Dynamic Braking Resistor for VFD Motor, 20 Ohm Wire Wound Encapsulated

Milwaukee Dynamic Braking Resistor for VFD Motor, 20 Ohm Wire Wound Encapsulated. Resistive Element Cylinder measures ~15.5" long and 3" in diameter. Braking resistors are introduced into a motor control system in order to prevent hardware damage and/or nuisance faults in a VFD. They are required because in certain operations, the motor controlled by the VFD is acting as a generator and power is flowing back towards the VFD, rather than towards the motor . This resistor was salvages from a Bridgeport Vertical Machining Center (VMC)
