Designed in both Edgewound
and Round Wire formats,
these rugged resistors
PFE and PFR Series
Powr-Rib® Edgewound
Edgewound and Round Wire
can handle 700 to 1000
Watts of power. Specify our
Edgewound design for very
low resistance and high power
capacity. When higher resis-
tance with lower power capac-
ity is required use our Round
Wire design.

These resistors are con-
PFE5K
structed of a heavy resistance
alloy mounted on ceramic
insulators and supported by
a metal mounting bracket.
Metal parts, except for the
resistance element, are heav-
ily plated to prevent oxidation
at high operating temperatures
and to prevent corrosion. The
mounting bar is slotted on
each end to facilitate installa-
tion. Edgewound units provide
clamp-type terminals, permit-
ting a reliable connection
which can be moved along
the resistive element to obtain
intermediate values.
