Cressall Resistors has launched the EVT, a new advanced water-cooled modular resistor developed specifically for rheostatic braking in smaller hybrid and electric vehicles.The EVT has a power rating of 10kW and a reduced pressure drop, allowing it to better tackle the automotive market. For example, in hybrid and pure electric vehicles, energy is usually discharged during braking on batteries. This is not always effective as batteries could be full, and also it may not be viable in instances where drivers need to emergency-brake.
