㈠Description:
Wirewound Power Resistors feature corrosion resistant wire, helically wound into a long spring-like coil.
The coil is then wound onto a spirally grooved, solid porcelain core,where each end of the wire is fitted to a
terminal, which clamps to the end of the core.Terminals, clamps, and all related hardware are made from heavy
stainless steel. The resistors are typically mounted between "L" brackets, using a‘ throughbolt’.Multiple
mounting racks are often furnished. This construction can be supplied open or with enclosures for personnel
protection, or louvered enclosures for both personnel and all weather protection.
㈡Features:
GWR Series terminals are formed at a 90 angle to allow the use of flat bus-connectors. This eliminatesthe need
for cumbersome jumper wires when interconnecting resistors. The open ‘double helix’design permits considerably
more wire to be wound around the porcelain core. The electrically efficient construction of the GWR element allows
the highest possible wattage ratings per linear inch,consistent with NEMA standards performance.As an added benefit,
the same design feature that permits the high wattage ratings, (so much more of the wire surface is exposed to
the air), makes the GWR Series Resistors an excellent space heater, both for natural convection and forced air use.
Post Glover's GWR resistors are available UL Recognized and CSA Certified.
㈢Applications:
The design and construction of the GWR Series Resistors makes them ideal for:
Small horsepower crane control
Wye Delta Starting
Various other starting and speed regulating uses
High resistance neutral grounding
Heaters and Load Banks
Elevator Controls
