ARCOL HS100 100R J Wirewound Load Resistor

The wirewound load resistor, also known as wirewound resistor, braking resistor or current regulator, from ARCOL with type number HS100 100R J is an electrical component for converting electrical energy into heat and limiting current. It has the dimensions 15 x 3 x 20 cm and weighs 0.145 kg. Wirewound load resistors are used as part of electrical circuits to limit current flows, divide voltages or safely convert excess electrical energy into heat. Typical areas of application include industrial control and power electronics, such as in braking and discharge circuits of frequency converters or in test and measuring devices for load simulation.
