OVAL RESISTORS - FIXED AND ADJUSTABLE 30 WATTS TO 95 WATTS

Milwaukee Resistor Corporation Oval resistors are used where space saving is desired and where the use of the heat sink function of the metal chassis, rack, or panel is employed. The low profile design and ability to stack multiple resistors conserves space.

Benefits/Features
Features of the Milwaukee Resistor Corporation Oval resistor include:

Terminal bands are spotwelded onto the insulated core and resistance-alloy wire is precisely wound onto the oval core.
The wire is spotwelded to the terminal bands and then "locked" onto the core with a silicone or cement coating.
Rugged construction for vibration and shock resistance.
Even heat dissipation to the chassis through the standard aluminum mounting.
Adjustable ovals are available.
Standard lug terminals along with single quick connects are available.
Special terminals are available for unusual applications.
Wattage ratings are based on a temperature rise of 300°C. above an ambient of 40°C. mounted on a 10" x 10" x .040" steel panel. (Ovals are derated by 20% when mounted on a non-heat conductive surface and are derated when stacked to avoid excessively high temperatures-see chart).
Standard resistance tolerance is ±5%. Below 1 ohm and adjustable is ±10%.

Applications
Typical applications for oval resistors include anywhere space is limited such as power supplies, motor controls including areas such as dynamic braking, motor starting, and speed/torque control, and process controls.
