Aluminum housed resistors

Maximum heat conduction or forced air convection

DESCRIPTION

Aluminum is a metal with characteristics that make it an ideal choice for high-power resistors. The Aluminum housing is anodized, making it non-corrosive, lightweight yet durable. For maximum heat transfer, these resistors have a housing with deep slats. Resistors with an aluminum housing provide excellent heat conduction. The resistors cool via natural convection. Using forced air cooling can improve cooling and operation at higher power ratings.

APPLICATIONS

  • Brake resistors
  • Energy dumping
  • Charging and discharging resistors
  • Wind power turbines
