Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and ordering information for the 280 Series Corrib® Fixed and Adjustable Vitreous Enamel Power Resistors. These resistors are designed for high current applications with low resistance values, suitable for motor starting and dynamic braking.
Specifications:
  • Coating: Lead-free vitreous enamel, except for extreme low resistance models and large models (750 watts and up) which use Silicone Ceramic.
  • Core: Tubular Ceramic.
  • Terminals: Tinned lug with hole, RoHS compliant solder composition (96% Sn, 3.5% Ag, 0.5% Cu).
  • Adjustable Lug: Available for 300 watt models (Part No. 1974-A or 1974-B).
  • Resistance: Maximum 63Ω for 300W version.
  • Tolerance: ±10% (K).
  • Power Rating: Based on 25°C free air rating, derating linearly from 100% at +25°C to 0% at +400°C.
  • Overload Capacity: 10 times rated wattage for 5 seconds.
  • Temperature Coefficient: ±400 ppm/°C.
  • Dielectric Withstanding Voltage: 1000 VAC measured from terminal to mounting bracket.
Features:
  • Available in Centohm or Silicone coating.
  • Ribbed construction for rapid cooling.
  • Designed for low resistance loads at low ohmic values and high current capacity.
  • RoHS compliant products available.
Ordering Information: The document includes part numbers for standard and made-to-order resistors, specifying series, wattage, coating, and resistance values. For example, part numbers like C300KR10E and E300K10RE indicate specific configurations.
Additional Information: The document provides dimensions and core selection details for custom orders, emphasizing the availability of silicone coating for wattages above 750 watts.

280 Series-1

Corrib® resistors are ideal for applications involving high currents at very low resistance values—as low as 0.1 Q for the 300 Watt unit. These large, heavy-duty resistors are designed to withstand frequent start-stop cycles characteristic of motor starting, dynamic braking and other similar applications. Special order units are available to accommodate up to 1500 watts. Corribs® are manufactured with corrugated resistive wire. To accelerate cooling, the wire is securely fused to the ceramic core by the protective vitreous enamel coating to improve durability. Corrib resistors are hollow-core units which can be securely fastened to chassis surfaces with thru bolts and brackets. • Also available in Centohm or Silicone coating. Consult Ohmite. • Ribbed construction aids in rapid cooling. • Designed for equipment requiring low resistance loads at low ohmic values and high current capacity. • Especially constructed for motor starting, dynamic braking, etc. • RoHS compliant product available.
