Latest resistors manage high-energy bursts and manage safety in industrial and everyday energy applications.
Bourns, Inc., a California-based company, has introduced a new line of advanced resistors that can handle powerful energy bursts. These resistors, named the ‘Riedon’ BR/BRT, BRS, and UWP Series, are designed to dissipate energy efficiently in systems like motors and rechargeable capacitors. With power ratings reaching up to 500W and a temperature limit as high as 275°C, these components are built for heavy-duty tasks.
Whether it’s stopping a high-speed motor or recharging a large capacitor, these resistors ensure that the extra energy is safely managed. The product range includes two aluminum-bodied resistors and one made from ceramic, each tailored for different industrial needs. This means engineers and designers can choose the perfect fit for their equipment, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
“These resistors are designed for situations where managing large energy pulses is critical,” said a company representative. While perfect for engineers working on complex industrial systems, the applications extend to areas people encounter daily, like elevators, electric vehicles, and energy storage solutions.
The versatility of these resistors also makes them ideal for power system designers and manufacturers of industrial equipment who need safe, reliable components. By offering different sizes and configurations, Bourns ensures the resistors can adapt to various uses, from heavy machinery to energy-efficient devices. Their ability to reduce interference and maintain performance even in challenging conditions sets them apart.
Currently available, these resistors comply with environmental safety standards, making them a responsible choice for modern applications. For those curious about the technical specifics, you may click here for further information.
