Construction:
- A tubular ceramic has two terminals and is wound with copper roundwire or chromium alloy roundwire to provide the resistance.
- Coated with non-flammable resin in high temperature. Insulation is applied through a high-temperature process and the mounts are attached.
- Due to DeMint excellent winding technology applied , many taps can be added, impedance is low and the shape can be altered to produce many types.
Features:
- Fixed, adjustable, or tapped styles are available.
- Special terminals are available for unusual applications.
- Special temperature coefficients, tolerances, and resistance value can be specified.
- Ayrton Perry type non-inductive winding formats are available. See DRS Series when requied.
- Standard resistance tolerance is ±5% and ±10%. Closer tolerances are available upon request.
- Standard lug terminals available with or without terminal hardware.
- Single and double quick connect terminals can be specified.
- The wire is spot welded to the terminal bands and then "fastened" onto the core with a silicone, cement, or vitreous enamel coating.
Applications:
- Ideal for educational modeling applications, load testing, industrial machinery, electric power distribution, instruments, automation control installations, etc.
- Typical applications for roundwire (DR) series in motor/motion control include areas such as dynamic braking, motor starting, speed/torque control, industrial machinery, electric power distribution, and plugging.
- Other applications include load dumping, current limiting, elevators, UPS systems, lift trucks, and voltage dropping.
