Milwaukee Resistor Corporation

HEX-POWER - WIREWOUND POWER RESISTORS 300 WATTS TO 1200 WATTS

The Hex-power series of power resistors features higher resistance ranges to complement the Edge-power resistor line in high current applications. This offers you full design and manufacturing capability from one source - Milwaukee Resistor Corporation. Frames and enclosures are readily available for multiple Hex-power resistors or combinations of resistors.

Benefits/Features
Features of Milwaukee Resistor Corporation Hex-Power resistors include:

Resistance-alloy round-wire is continuously wound on specially designed porcelain insulators.
Open coil construction allows for efficient heat dissipation and easily accommodates reasonable overloads and surges.
Insulators provide proper turn-to-turn spacing and insulation from support bars.
End terminals are securely clamped to the resistive element.
End-slot/side-slot support bar design provides versatility in mounting and easily adapts to many existing installations.
Design provides a high capacity resistor with an excellent weight/wattage ratio.
Terminal hardware for cable attachment provided as a standard item.
Movable tap terminals are available.
Special brackets and support bars can be made to provide direct replacements for other manufacturer's resistors.
Taps and jumpers available to meet your circuit specifications (series, parallel, or combination).

Applications
Typical applications for Hex-power resistors in motor/motion control include areas such as dynamic braking, motor starting, speed/torque control, and plugging. Other applications include load dumping, current limiting, and voltage dropping. Hex-power resistors are commonly found in:

Overhead Cranes
Lift Trucks
Machine Tools
Battery Lines/Chargers
Power Supplies

Locomotives
Elevators
Conveyors
Plating Baths
Industrial Controls
