Power Resistors - Element Types

Resistor elements are not just a part of our business — power resistors are our only business. We are committed to supplying power resistors that meet the requirements and specifications requested by our customers. With expert engineering, conscientious personnel and a broad product range, we aim to be your supplier of choice for power resistor products. Helping you to complete your projects and meet your deadlines by being quick, responsive and informed is not our mission—it's what we do!

All elements are assembled using stainless steel hardware.

	WIREWOUND POWER RESISTORS These units feature an open helical wire element wound around a grooved porcelain core. This type of open element will take considerably more overload than enameled type resistors and also cool much quicker as each turn of the wire is exposed to the cool ambient air.

	ROUND EDGEWOUND POWER RESISTORS Stainless steel strip type element, wound on its edge and supported on grooved porcelain supports. These units are through-bolt mounted on a 5/16” rod. Standard EWR Resistor ratings STANDARD EDGEWOUND RESISTORS TECH SHEET AND RATINGS		MORE INFO GET QUOTE

	STAMPED GRID POWER RESISTORS The resistor element of a grid resistor consists of stainless steel plates, normally from 24 to 40, connected in series. Slots are stamped into each plate to give a longer current path. STANDARD GRID AND RIBBON RESISTORS TECH SHEET AND RATINGS		MORE INFO GET QUOTE

	RIBBON POWER RESISTORS Stainless Steel Ribbon Resistors feature a 4-inch wide stainless steel element that is serpentine formed from one continuous strip nearly thirty feet long. STANDARD GRID AND RIBBON RESISTORS TECH SHEET AND RATINGS		MORE INFO GET QUOTE

	SMOOTHWOUND POWER RESISTORS The smoothwound wire element is wound onto a porcelain tube and coated with a refractory cement coating. STANDARD CSW RESISTORS TECH SHEET AND RATINGS		MORE INFO GET QUOTE

	SPIRALWOUND POWER RESISTORS These units feature an open wire element (made from Nichrome or stainless steel resistive alloy) wound around an insulated core. Stainless steel terminals and hardware are standard.		MORE INFO GET QUOTE

	LOW WATT SMOOTHWOUND POWER RESISTORS Precision wirewound resistors, either fixed or adjustable, rated for continuous use at ratings of 250 watts and below. STANDARD LOW WATT SMOOTHWOUND RESISTORS TECH SHEET AND RATINGS		MORE INFO GET QUOTE
