High Current Round Edgewound

These high current round edgewound resistors han-

dle a variety of applications including dynamic brak-

ing, load banks, motor starting, and plugging. They

are available in a variety of ohm and current ratings

common to transit use.

A sturdy welded steel frame supports the refrac-

tory insulators. The frame is finished with a zinc

chromate conversion for corrosion resistance. The

ceramic insulators separate turns of the resistance

Current Rating

Continuous current ratings are based on a maximum tem-

perature rise of 375°C as specified by NEMA Industrial

Control Standards for bare element resistors.

elements from each other and the frame. The resis-

tance element is a stainless steel strip, used for

its corrosion resistance, negligible temperature

coefficient, and Ohms per foot vs. current carrying

capacity. The resistance element is created by edge-

winding a stainless strip into a continuous coil of the

proper length. Zinc plated terminals welded to the

resistance element complete the assembly.
