Power Resistors

Current Limiting Resistors

A series-connected resistor that limits inrush, fault or discharge current to a value the associated equipment can safely withstand, for example in capacitor bank pre-insertion, motor starting or fault-current limiting duties. Elements are stainless steel grid or wire-wound resistors selected for the required resistance value and short-time thermal withstand. Used in MV switchgear, capacitor bank switching schemes and motor control installations.

Voltage classMV 12–36 kV
RatingResistance selected per application (typ. 1–1000 Ω); short-time current rating with thermal duty 1 s / 3 s / 10 s; peak withstand per system fault level; stainless steel or wire-wound elements; enclosure IP23/IP54
Insulation / mediumAir
StandardsIEC 60076-6, IEC 60529
