摘要

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. recently released the VACR, a series of compact aluminum-housed resistors with power ratings up to 500 W. The new devices will serve in industrial, motor drive, railway, renewable energy, and other high-power systems as braking, chopper, predischarging, and voltage-limiting resistors, among other applications. The Vishay Draloric VACR resistors feature power ratings from 50 W to 500 W, with IP20 or IP65 protection.
