Power Wirewound Resistors

Product Description

A power resistor is a type of resistor designed to handle higher power loads than standard resistors. They are used in a variety of applications where high-power dissipation is required, such as in power supplies, amplifiers, and motor control circuits.

Power resistors come in a range of sizes and power ratings, from a few watts to several kilowatts. They are typically made of materials with high thermal conductivity, such as ceramic, aluminum, or silicon, to help dissipate the heat generated by the resistor.

Rating

Some common types of power resistors include wire-wound resistors, metal film resistors, and thick film resistors. The type of resistor chosen will depend on the specific requirements of the application, such as the amount of power to be dissipated, the resistance value, and the temperature range.
