HOW
TO APPLY RESISTORS CORRECTLY
- The characteristics of resistor have relations to
Temperature
Moisture and Voltage.
- The rating of resistor is specified on the basis
of Temperature.
- The power rating of resistor is all specified with
a Direct-Current
(D.C) continuous working voltage or
Sine-wave root-mean-square
(rms) continuous working voltage at commercial-line frequency.
- The tests regarding characteristics of resistor,
is principally specified
on the basis of moisture.
- Maximum rated voltage and maximum overload voltage
are limited for each style of resistor.
(1.) Generally , Rated Voltage , Where , E=Volt , P=Watt , R=Ohm.
(2.) Generally , Overload Voltage , Application time=5 Sec.
Note: Max. rated and Max. overload voltage are specified in each specification, so if the voltage value computed, is over than
specified voltage value the specified value should be applied to resistor.
- In the complicated or high density circuit, it is
recommended that the wattage or ohmic values of resistor should have a large
redundancy from a view point of reliability.
- It is necessary that the handling or wiring of
resistor to the circuit, is carefully and please do not inflict any stress to resistor
with over heating application.
- To rise the reliability of resistor, it is better
to prefer resistor with uniform quality than taking resistor meet with severe
specification.
- To rise the stability of resistor, it is very
important to take resistor meet with circuit conditions and is also economical not
to have unreasonable design from a point of pricing of resistor.
- Generally, failure of resistor takes a
concentrated trend in the impulse circuit with complicated pulse wave form or L.C. circuit
generated high voltage with transient phenomena, therefore, it is very important for
designers to consider these conditions in the circuit design, if the resistor is applied
in these circuit.
