The Ohmite Ceramic Resistor Division Tubular Non- Inductive 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 ener- gy 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 mate- rials to allow designers to meet the most demanding requirements.

Material Types
Type SP
Material composition type SP is formulated to withstand high oper- ating 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 ener- gy 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 recom- mended 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 con- tinuous 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
Specifications
Series 800 and 1000 Tubular Resistors are available in a wide variety of sizes and termi- nations from 2" to 24" in length and 1⁄2" 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.
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.
