High Power Rheostats

Rotary Variable Power Wire Wound Resistors

Heavy Duty Rheostat Load Boxes ( both Rotary and Slide type )

FVR, FVRB, and DSR-WB series

• High Power Rheostat Applications : Resistive Load simulations, Current Regulators, Voltage Dividers, Motor Speed Controls, Burn-in test loading and other general applications
  The main function of a rheostat is to adjust the circuit current between the maximum current at the minimum resistance value, and the minimum current at the rated resistance.

• Rheostat resistance value:
  Power Rheostat doesn’t have standard resistance values. Customers determine the lower and upper resistance values according to their current ranges, though there might have limitations because of resistance material availability.
  Two rheostats with the same power rating doesn’t mean they have the same maximum load current capacity.

• High Power Rheostats : FVR

• rated Power and rated resistance : 25W, 50W, 100W, 300W, and 500W

• Tandem Mounted Rheostats : FVR

• Slide Rheostat with Handwheel : DSR-W :

• Also known as High Power Variable Resistor
  Support power up to 20kW
  This series bases on the DDR-F/DSR-F series power resistor with a Handwheel to adjust the resistance value.

• Adjustable Power Load Bank : 1-Phase DSR-WB / 3-Phase DSR3-WB

• High Power Slide type Rheostat

• This is based on DSR-F series Power Wire Wound Resistor.

• Standard power range for 1-Phase : 1kW - 50kW

• Standard power range for 3-Pjhase : 3kW - 54kW

• Support high load current requirement

• Options : Voltmeter, Ammeter, Wattmeter, Ohm meter, Thermal and Over Current protection, Cooling System and Control Main Switch

• Please tell the following for all the above rheostats.

• i) maximum Resistance when at the minimum Current
  ii) minimum Resistance when at the maximum Current
  iii) Voltage at minimum and maximum resistance

• Different load current and resistance ranges combinations need different resistance material to withstand the current and achieve the resistance value.

• There is no standard rated resistance or resistance material that suitable for all applications even with the same rated power.

• Rheostat rated Power = (Rheostat maximum load Current)² x rated Resistance

• In terms of Rated Power, a smaller Rated Resistance value means the rheostat can have larger Rated maximum Current capacity.

• Please tell the best suitable resistance ranges that suitable for your application. All rheostats are made according to customer's application need.

• There are more Note and Tips for application limitation and parameters determination at the application page.

• Support High Load Current requirement

• There are more Rheostats photos and Rheostat Boxes photos.

• Rheostat Bank FVRB / Adjustable Load Bank DSR-WB options :

• Ammeter, Voltmeter and Wattmeter

• OverCurrent protection

• Thermal protection

• Cooling Fans system.
