POWER RESISTOR-MCTR100JDD6801

when a current is flowing into the resistor electrical energy is converted into heat. The heat is generated from the components is possess some resistance in the circuit, and this heat is dissipated into the air as heat this is called power dissipation.

The power dissipation depends on the power source and devices to handle the power.

If it is a quarter-watt resistor handle the high power rated supply, after some time it dissipates the power into heat and getting damage. If we consider the power resistor it can handle more, because power resistors  are designed with in-housed heat sinks

What is Power Resistor

Power Resistor works normally like a Resistor, but it is capable of withstanding and dissipating 5 Watts or more power. They are designed with housed in a heat sink to handle more heat with power. These are available in different types of power package styles TO-220, T-247, and TO-263, TO-163. For PCB surface-mounted TO-263, TO-163, and for Through-hole mounted TO-220, T-247 packages are available. Power Resistors construction includes thick film, Ceramic, Thin film, Carbon, Wire-wound some more are available

POWER RESISTOR

 

What is the use of Power Resistor?

Power resistors are designed to withstand a large amount of power and dissipate a large amount of power. Power resistors are mostly used in industries, power plants, or any application that can handle the high power ratings. Power resistors are made from a material that has high thermal, conductivity that allows efficient cooling with heat sink elements.

Precautions

Depends on the rated power (ex:100Watt) of the load, we connect the load to any power source, if any case the voltage or current exceeds its rated power (VI) it leads to damage to the product/load.                 

NOTE: This power resistor belongs to Through-hole mounted T-247. Thick film construction.

Types of power resistors

 Wire wound power resistors

    Wire wound resistors are made by winding a metal wire around a strong structure, regularly made of clay, fiberglass, or plastic. Metal covers are appended to the furthest limit of the winding and metallic leads are joined to the closures. The finished result is frequently covered with a non-conductive paint or veneer to offer some assurance from the climate. Wire wound resistors can be worked to withstand high temperatures, in some cases up to 450 °C. These resistors are frequently worked to tight resiliences because of the material utilized, a compound of nickel and chrome called Nichrome.

Grid-based power resistors

Grid-based resistors are huge lattices of metal strips associated between two cathodes. They differ in size, yet can be similarly huge as a fridge. It isn't unprecedented to see lattice resistors esteemed at under 0.04ω and can withstand flows of more than 500 amperes. They are utilized as brake resistors and burden banks for railroad vehicles, nonpartisan establishing resistors, load testing of generators, and consonant separating for electric substations
