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...

Rotary Rheostats Hardware Reference 2 Product Selection Guide 2.1 Product Selection Table Maximum power rating Feasible total ohmic values The product identification code takes into account its particular specifications (model, type of coating, number of modules, rotary button and / or scale, ohmic value, etc.) according to the description given on page 11. 2.2 Maximum Current Maximum current: The current in each turn of the winding shall not exceed the IMAX value at which the rheostat dissipates its maximum power level PMAX, otherwise the rheostat could be damaged. IMAX depends on the rheostat's...
