Just unpacked and installed a 15hp allen bradley powerflex 700 and its power cycling repeatedly. I have verified supply voltage and have no t leads connected. I think the vfd is bad out of box. This is the first time this has happened to me.....curious if others have had this happen???

Is it the HIM that is power cycling, if so try removing the HIM and see if that helps or try another HIM.
If you have a 1203-USB or 1203-SSS and use Drive Explorer or Drive Executive or Connected Component Workbench CCW, and see if the drive is OK.

It could be wit they call the T-Board, it is the board that the HIM, 20-COMM and external scan port are connected to the main control board, not sure if that is a spare part where you are, it not available in Australia as a spare part.
Is this a brand new drive or a used drive?

If it's new, get a replacement under warranty.
