Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced a new stud-mount version of its edgewound power resistor. Providing a convenient drop-in replacement for competing solutions, the EDGS combines a ...

Although not really a cost-effective or a required skill unless you have some very specific needs not met by off-the-shelf power resistor options, making your own own wirewound power resistor is ...

Power resistors come in all shapes, sizes, resistances and power ratings. Power ratings of discrete power resistors range from about 1W to 2.5kW. Resistances generally range from 0.01Ω to 100K. They ...

As our economy continues to drive the emergence of energy-efficient systems such as hybrid and electric vehicles, composite aircraft, and wind turbines, the need for power resistors has expanded.

There are so many applications for power resistors that they cannot be easily tabulated. Discussed here are a few practical, useful applications that you will find interesting. First an image with ...
