MAIN APPLICATIONS
Due to their considerable electrical and mechanical characteristics, and because of their modular construction, these types of resistors can be used in different applications:
– Starting,
braking and slip control resistors for A.C. and D.C. motors,
– Load resistors for testing
generators,
– Star point
earthing resistors for alternators and transformers with operating voltages
up to 70 kV,
– Filter
resistors,
– Connection
and discharge resistors for capacitors,
– Current limiting resistors for
induction furnaces and welding machines.
