A low value of resistance connected in series with the circuit greatly reduces this problem. This resistor must absorb a high peak power or energy safely. A film type resistor is not recommended as ...

Figure 2: Power FET compact models are making the transition from a 2-terminal to a 3-terminal resistor model equivalent network to model the drain drift-region. The r3_cmc (henceforth known as ‘R3’) ...

If you think that this example is too simple to be of value, remember that a power source and a series resistor makes up a Thévenin source, and you can convert any linear circuit into its ...

The same applies to resistors in series (Fig. 6).Two 5000-ohm resistors, wired in series, become a 10,000-ohm resistor. If each of the 5000-ohm resistors is rated at 1 watt, the total is 2 watts over ...

Pre-charging of electric-vehicle power circuits is one of the best ways to ensure component longevity and reliability while also establishing safer operations.

By changing the resistance of this passive component, the computer thinks that the motor is drawing less current and allows more power to be delivered to the drivetrain than originally intended.

TT Electronics IRC has developed a series of high-reliability thick film chip resistors tested to MIL-PRF-55342-level specifications.
