Ohmite's High Energy Wirewound Resistors are engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding applications requiring high power dissipation and robust reliability. Unlike standard wirewound resistors, these resistors employ specialized winding techniques to maximize their effective joule rating and fusing current. This process involves maintaining a tight pitch between windings and avoiding wire substitutions or abrasive adjustments, ensuring consistent performance and predictable behavior. Available in axial, surface mount (SMD), and heat sinkable configurations, these resistors cater to a wide range of mounting and thermal management requirements. They are commonly used in power supplies, motor drives, welding equipment, and other industrial applications where high power handling and precise resistance values are critical.
