AutomationDirect (Cumming, GA) has added Crohm brand VFD brake resistors, which feature NEMA 1 enclosures and installed thermal switches. These resistors are offered in many popular resistance values from 3.7 ohms to 400 ohms and power ratings from 240 W to 18 kW to ensure a good match per your manufacturer's recommendation. The NEMA 1 enclosures protect users from injury and the resistor from accidental damage, while the thermal switch helps protect the drive and resistor from thermal overload.
