Resistor Selection and Application Notes
Introduction
This document provides detailed guidelines on selecting and applying resistors, focusing on the importance of accurately determining wattage to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.
Resistor Facts and Factors
Resistors are devices that introduce a specified resistance in an electrical circuit, measured in ohms. According to Ohm's Law, the current through a resistor is directly proportional to the voltage across it and inversely proportional to the resistance. The passage of current generates heat, which raises the resistor's temperature. Resistors are rated to dissipate a specific wattage without exceeding a standard "hot spot" temperature.
Selection Process
The selection of a resistor involves three steps:
  1. Determine the resistance and the watts to be dissipated using Ohm's Law.
  2. Determine the proper "Watt Size" based on watts, volts, permissible temperatures, mounting, and circuit conditions.
  3. Choose the most suitable type of resistor, including terminals and mounting.
Power Rating and Physical Size
The "Free Air Watt Rating" is the wattage rating under standard conditions. It is crucial to consider factors like ambient temperature, enclosure, grouping, altitude, pulse operation, cooling air, and limited temperature rise when determining the power rating. The maximum permissible operating temperature is determined by the materials used in the resistor's construction.
Temperature Distribution
The temperature rise along a resistor varies, with the hot spot typically at the center-top. The "Free Air Watt Rating" is used regardless of the resistor's position.
Application Watt Rating
Several factors affect the application watt rating, including ambient temperature, enclosure, grouping, altitude, pulse operation, cooling air, and other considerations like high resistance, high voltage, and high frequency. Military and other specifications may also influence the choice of resistor.
Conclusion
Choosing the right resistor involves considering various factors to ensure it meets the application's requirements. Standard resistors should be considered first, and if unavailable, non-standard options can be explored.
Resistor Selection and Environmental Factors
Resistors and other electrical components have limitations on the maximum temperature they can reliably operate at. The service temperature is the sum of ambient temperature and the temperature rise due to heat dissipation. Various factors affect the temperature rise, including ambient temperature, enclosure, grouping, and altitude.

Ambient Temperature Derating
Power resistors can dissipate different percentages of full load depending on ambient temperatures. High ambient temperatures require derating.

Derating Due to Enclosure
Enclosure affects derating based on factors like size, shape, material, and ventilation. Fig. 5 illustrates temperature variations with enclosure size for a power resistor.

Derating Due to Grouping
Nearby heat-producing units affect temperature rise. Fig. 6 shows power ratings for resistor groups with various spacings.

Derating for Altitude
Fig. 7 shows power ratings at different altitudes under standard atmospheric conditions.

Pulse Operation
Pulse operation may allow higher power in pulses than continuous duty. NEMA duty cycles and resistor ratings are shown in Fig. 8. Curves in Figs. 10-13 illustrate on and off time combinations for various loads.

Cooling and Limited Temperature Rise
Forced air cooling allows operation at higher wattage. Fig. 14 shows a typical curve for forced air cooling. Operating at less than maximum temperature rise is possible by referring to Fig. 2.

Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR)
Resistance alloys show minimal change with temperature, but TCR can cause changes of -4% to +8% at full load. TCR is expressed in ppm/°C. Special applications may require specifying maximum permissible TCR.

Short-Cut Chart Method
This method helps determine the required resistor size based on application conditions. Factors like ambient temperature, enclosure, grouping, altitude, pulse operation, cooling air, and limited temperature rise are considered.
Technical Document Summary
1. Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR):
The TCR of a power resistor can vary due to factors like heat treatment and construction materials. The TCR range for certain wires on vitreous enameled resistors can increase significantly from the original specification. Designers should consider the actual circuit needs and select resistors that operate at low temperature rises for maximum stability. Ohmite offers resistors with "Ohmicone" coating for better TCR control.
2. Resistance Alloys and Uses:
Various resistance alloys are used in winding resistors and rheostats, each suitable for different resistance ranges. The document provides a table of alloys with their compositions, resistance per circular-mil-foot (CMF), and temperature coefficients. Alloys like Nickel and "Hytemco" are used for ballast resistors due to their high TCR.
3. Ohm’s Law:
Ohm’s Law defines the relationships between power (P), voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R). The document provides formulas for calculating these parameters, emphasizing the importance of understanding these relationships in circuit design.
4. Preferred Standard Resistance Values:
The document lists standard resistance values designated by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ensuring representation of every possible resistance value within its tolerance range.
5. Resistor Terminology:
Definitions of various terms related to resistors are provided, such as adjustable resistor, ambient temperature, armature resistor, and dielectric strength. These definitions help in understanding the specifications and applications of different resistor types.
