Ohmite High Energy Wirewound Resistors utilize specialized winding techniques to maximize their effective joule rating. Unlike standard wirewound resistors, these resistors maintain a tight pitch between windings and avoid material substitutions or abrasive adjustments, ensuring consistent performance and predictable fusing characteristics. Available in axial, surface mount, and heat sinkable configurations, they are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications requiring high power dissipation and reliable performance. The fixed joule rating and fusing current provide design engineers with greater certainty in their power management calculations.
