New range of resistors and portable load bank units available for industrial applications

RS Components has signed a distribution agreement with Cressall enabling industrial customers around the world to purchase the manufacturer’s products directly from the company. 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. 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. 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. The company’s 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. Also available from RS is a range of the company’s 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. Robust, reliable, lightweight and simple to use, all the portable load bank units are fan cooled, which helps to ensure a compact design. The fan supply voltage can be taken from the test load itself or an auxiliary supply of 110VAC or 230VAC.
