The Ohmite Ceramic Resistor Division Tubular NonInductive Bulk Ceramic Resistors provide excellent performance for high peak power or high-energy pulses. Bulk construction advantageously produces
an inherently non-inductive resistor; and it allows energy and power to be uniformly distributed through the entire ceramic resistor body – there is no film or wire to fail. Ohmite offers a full line of rugged, reliable ceramic resistors. Ohmite offers three distinctly different ceramic materials to allow designers to meet the most demanding
requirements.
Material Types
TYPE SP
Material composition type SP is
formulated to withstand high operating temperatures resulting in
high power dissipation. Maximum
continuous operating temperature
is specified at 350°C. This type is
suitable for use in oil without an
oil-resistant coating.
Applications
- Motor drive circuits
- Snubber circuits
- High-frequency circuits
- RF dummy loads
- Dynamic braking
- Transformer protection
- Harmonic filter
TYPE AS
Material composition type AS is formulated to withstand high energy and high voltage applications. Maximum continuous operating temperature is specified at 230°C. The standard dielectric coating is
recommended for use in air, and the oil-resistant coating is recommended for use in oil.
Applications
- Impulse generators
- High-voltage circuits
- X-ray equipment
- High voltage power supplies
- Laser/Imaging equipment
- Capacitor charge/discharge
TYPE BA
Material composition type BA is
formulated with to reach higher
resistance values. Maximum continuous operating temperature is
specified at 230°C. The standard
dielectric coating is recommended
for use in air, and the oil-resistant
coating is recommended for use
in oil.
Applications
- Bleeder
- Capacitor charge/discharge
Series 800 and 1000 Tubular Resistors are available in a wide variety of sizes and terminations from 2" to 24" in length and ½" to 2" in diameter. These resistors can handle up to 1000 watts, 165 kJ and 165 kV in resistance values from 1 ohm to 1 megohm.
Specifications
* Allowable peak energy/voltage will depend on the resistance value. Consult factory.
** Derate by 50% with oil resistant coating onType AS resistors. Energy ratings are basedon pulses <10 milliseconds. Type SP ratings
can be substantially greater for longer pulses. Consult factory
Characteristics
*When required, Type SP material can withstand short periods of use at red-heat conditions, i.e. up to 550°C to 600°C
Derating
Power ratings are based on maximum allowable surface temperature in still air at 40°C ambient temperature.
Surface Temperature
Vurve is typical for resistor midpoint with 300 horizontal orientation in 250 still air.
Dimensions
Special sizes are available. Consult factory.
*885 and 886 in type BA material are solid rods
Termination Options
Electrical connection to the resistive bodies of resistors is made by metal end bands. The standard metal is alumi- num for Type SP, silver for Type AS and nickel for Type BA. Special terminations of brass, copper or soldered ends are also available.
Mounting Clips
In most cases, connections to the resistors may be made by using these stock clips.
