Sliding Rheostats Hardware Reference 1 General Description Series: Sliding rheostats come in three series: • SN series for power ratings from 315 W to 2670 W • STV and SQV series for power ratings from 1500 W to 7000 W Higher power ratings are achieved by assembling several STV or SQV units. Design: Sliding rheostats are constructed with: • One to four ceramic cylinder(s), all identical for a given model. These cylinders are available in 5 sizes (mm): 350 x 40 (315 W) ; 500 x 60 (720 W) ; 600 x 60 (890 W) ; 700 x 100 (1250 W); 800 x 120 (1750 W) a wirewound resistor : . made of nichrome or...

Sliding Rheostats Hardware Reference 2 Product Selection Guide 2.1 Product selection table The following matrix shows the different models and circuit diagrams for each series , ranked in column by type of tube and in rows by increasing maximum achievable current (lowest total ohmic values in the range of feasibility) and by number of circuit diagrams. For each model are given: – the connections diagram numbers: S1 pour Connections diagram 1, etc. – the range of ohmic feasible values (per winding / cylinder) – the power rating Maximum achievable current (A) Type of the tubes for the...

Sliding Rheostats Hardware Reference 2.2 Maximum Current Maximum current: The current in each winding (= for each tube) must not exceed the value IMXB at which the rheostat is at its maximum power PMXB. , otherwise the product could be damaged. If RB is the total ohmic value of the resistance wire for one tube, IMXB is defined by PMXB = RB x I²MXB. The diagrams below show the curves of maximum acceptable current per winding vs. the total ohmic value of the winding. The maximum acceptable current for the rheostat depends on the internal wiring diagram of the product: Please refer to the...
