Rotary Rheostats Hardware Reference Document 1101066 - Edition June 2009

Rotary Rheostats Hardware Reference 1 Main Features Series: Rotary rheostats come in 6 standard models, each model with a different power rating : T16 (16 W), T25 (25 W), T50 (50 W), T100 (100 W), T150 (150 W), T300 (300 W). Higher power ratings are achieved with tandem mounted units. These units may be used to replace the obsolete models T500 (500 W) and T1000 (1000 W). Design: Rotary rheostats are constructed with: • a ceramic tore, specific to each model • a wirewounded resistor: . with a nichrome or copper-nickel wire for a low TCR (Temperature Coefficient of electrical Resistance) guaranteeing...
