Brake Resistor 
If you want a brake on your spindle, you will need a brake resistor. Use the table below to locate the correct 
resistor size. You can order them directly from Mitsubishi. 
Motor (Hp)
Resistance (Ohms)  Continuous Power (W)  Mitsubishi Part # 
1/2  200  60  FR-ABR-0.4K 
1  100  80  FR-ABR-0.75K 
2 & 3  60  120  FR-ABR-2.2K 
5  40  155  FR-ABR-3.7K 
7 1/2  25  185  FR-ABR-5.5K 
10  20  340  FR-ABR-7.5K 
 
If you have a brake resistor, connect it between PR and P/+ on the VFD.

Note: Each VFD model is slightly different. Just make sure that you connect the resistor to the correct terminals 
(PR, P/+).
