Edgewound Round Wire Power Resistors
Designed in both Edgewound
and Round Wire formats,
these rugged resistors can
handle 700 to 1000 Watts of
power. Specify our edgewound
design for very low resistance and high power capacity. When higher resistance
with lower power capacity is
required use our round wire
design.
Constructed of a heavy
resistance alloy mounted on
ceramic insulators and supported by a metal mounting
bracket. Metal parts, except
for the resistance element,
are heavily plated to prevent
oxidation at high operating
temperatures and to prevent
corrosion. The mounting bar is
slotted on each end to facilitate installation. Edgewound
units provide clamp-type terminals, permitting a reliable connection which can be moved
along the resistive element to
obtain intermediate values.
All values for reference only; Consult factory for details.
