They are used in variable-speed drive systems such as elevators, cranes, and trains. When a system load is decelerated, the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. The dynamic braking resistor absorbs this energy and converts it to heat.

Technology / Construction
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Carbon Composition
|
|
Carbon-composition resistors consist of powdered carbon, an insulating material, and a resin binder. Their resistance value is determined by the ratio of powdered carbon to insulating material. Carbon-composition resistors usually have a precision of no greater than +/-5%. This means that a 100-ohm resistor can range from 95 to 105 ohms in actual value.
|
| |
Carbon Film
|
|
Carbon-film resistors are relatively inexpensive and readily available. They have resistance values within ±10% or ±5% of their marked or nominal value.
|
| |
Cermet
|
|
Cermet devices are made of cermet, a composite that consists of ceramic and metallic materials. They are often used in high-temperature applications.
|
| |
Ceramic Composition
|
|
Ceramic-composition resistors are solid-body devices made of a high-temperature, ceramic resistive material. They have bonded metal contacts. The construction of ceramic-composition resistors concentrates nearly all of the component mass into the resistive element, resulting in a rugged device with high-energy capacity.
|
| |
Coiled Wire Resistor
|
|
Coiled wire resistors are made by coiling wire on an insulated core.
|
| |
Edgewound Resistor
|
|
Edgewound resistors are made of high-power wire that is wound on edge to form a helical, resistive element.
|
| |
Grid Resistor
|
|
Grid resistors consist of high-power wire that is formed into grid. Several grids are then fitted into an enclosure. Grid resistors can withstand both high power and high current.
|
| |
Metal Alloy
|
|
Metal-alloy resistors contain metallic elements. Varying these elements can alter the alloy's properties.
|
| |
Metal Film
|
|
Metal-film resistors are produced by depositing a resistive element on a high-grade, ceramic rod. The metal film’s resistive element may be carbon, nickel chromium; or a mixture of metal and glass, or metal and metal oxide. The precise resistance is achieved by removing part of the metal film in a spiral pattern around the rod. Typically, the tolerance is within ±2% or ±1% of the nominal value. When a tolerance of +/-1% is achieved, a 100-ohm, 1% resistor falls in the range of 99 to 101 ohms.
|
| |
Metal Foil
|
|
Resistors are made of metal foil.
|
| |
Metal Oxide
|
|
Metal-oxide resistors are similar to metal-film resistors. Although there are some differences between these resistor types, none affect their use in simple circuits.
|
| |
Ribbon Resistor
|
|
Ribbon resistors are power resistors made with metallic, ribbon-like elements. These ribbon elements are formed by folding a strip of metal back and forth.
|
| |
Tantalum
|
|
Resistors are made of tantalum, an element that is also used in capacitors. Tantalum resistors are used in audio applications.
|
| |
Thick Film
|
|
Thick-film resistors are made by stenciling a resistive metallic paste or ink onto a base in a process similar to silk screening. Usually, this resistive material is considered to be proprietary.
|
| |
Thin Film
|
|
Thin-film resistors are formed by vapor-deposition of a thin layer of resistive material onto a base. They are trimmed to a specific value by lasering or sandblasting.
|
| |
Wirewound Resistor
|
|
Wirewound resistors are made by winding thin wire onto a ceramic rod. Highly-accurate devices are used in multimeters, oscilloscopes and other measuring equipment. Wirewound resistors that can pass large currents without overheating are used in power supplies and other high-current circuits.

|
|

Surface Mount (SMT / SMD)
|
|
Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT devices (SMD) have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. With careful placement, SMT components on solder paste remain in position until elevated temperatures, usually from an infrared oven, melt the paste and solder the component leads to the PCB pads.
|
| |
Bolt-on (Chassis)
|
|
Chassis mounted devices bolt onto or within a structure’s supporting frame, typically in a metal-to-metal configuration for better heat dissipation. Some chassis types are designed to be mounted within a rack.

Panel-mounted devices have a threaded bushing which surrounds the shaft.
|
| |
Through Hole
|
|
Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board.
