GWK Vitreous Wirewound Resistors with Ferrules

* oInrush current limiter * oCapacitor charge / discharge * oSnubber resistor * oBrake resistor * oFilter resistor * oThe power dissipation of the resistor generates a temperature rise with respect to the ambient. The permissible dissipation is derated for temperatures above 40 °C, as shown in the derating diagram, in order to avoid overheating of the resistor. The heat dissipated from the resistor may affect adjacent components, therefore proper clearance is required in order to avoid overheating. * oThe resistive wire is hermetically encapsulated. All materials used are non-flammable and inorganic. * oThese resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift increasing over operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a functional lifetime.
