Spiralwound Resistors • These spiral wound resistor 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. • The spiraled design allows for superior forced-air cooling due to minimal air resistance caused by the core of the resistor and the increased surface area of the resistive material. • Elements have a very quick "cool down" period after operation and are very light weight. • Used for low current industrial applications from 2 to 21 amps continuous with natural convection cooling. Even higher capacity is possible for intermittent duty applications or by adding forced-air cooling. • Typical applications include load banks and heaters.
