The range includes a wide selection of resistors for applications such as dynamic braking and motor control, as well as a range of portable load bank products.<\/p>\n

The resistor range comprises a comprehensive selection of compact IP20-rated devices together with a choice of accessories that enable both purchase and installation costs to be kept low.<\/p>\n

Units in the range feature stable high-temperature resistance alloy to deliver reliability, as well as being rated for repetitive duties and high short-term overloads.<\/p>\n

Cressall\u2019s resistors are suitable for deployment in a multitude of industrial applications and can handle dynamic braking, motor starting and stopping, equipment discharge, current limiting and test loads.<\/p>\n

The ZC range of resistors features a versatile selection of adjustable resistor elements that are ideal for both continuous and high-energy short-time duties.<\/p>\n

Manufactured from an edge-wound strip of stainless steel supported on ceramic insulators, the ZC coils offer an adjustable solution for medium current applications.<\/p>\n

Available in two different lengths and seven different resistance windings, the ZC coils provide a modular resistor solution that is ideal for motor-control or load-testing applications.<\/p>\n

In addition, the devices are supplied with mounting feet and adjustable tapping clamps to enable easy selection of resistance values.<\/p>\n

The HP resistor element range is suitable for those applications requiring high power in a small space.<\/p>\n

The resistor elements produce virtually no audible noise when subject to high frequency AC or chopped DC applications, and their open wire-wound construction makes them particularly suitable for repetitive short-term power overloads.<\/p>\n

The units are available in three different power ratings with a short time overload capability of up to seven times continuous rating.<\/p>\n

Also available from RS<\/a><\/span> is a range of Cressall portable load units, including: AC load units that are designed for testing power supplies, small UPS systems or generators; and a DC range for the testing of batteries or DC power supplies.<\/p>\n

Robust, reliable, lightweight and simple to use, all the portable load bank units are fan cooled, which helps to ensure a compact design.<\/p>\n

The fan supply voltage can be taken from the test load itself or from an auxiliary supply of 110 or 230VAC.
