The 5 Different Custom Resistors and Their Functions
A resistor is a passive electrical component that is used to create resistance in a circuit. Resistors are important in electronic circuits because they can control the flow of electricity, and can dissipate large amounts of excess energy. They are also the most used...
What are Shunt Resistors – Essential Facts You Should Know
If you've ever wondered how much power is used by an electronic circuit, you're not alone. The most robust component that can measure current draw is called a shunt resistor and it plays a vital role in the proper functioning of many electronic devices. In this...
RIEDON CURRENT SHUNTS FOR SOLAR INDUSTRY
Riedon’s selection of Current Shunts for the Solar Industry range from 5A to 1200A with outputs of either 50mV or 100mV. In Solar Panel installations, for the monitoring of DC current flowing out of the battery, it is important to install a measurement device such as...
Design eines lebensrettenden Wasseraufbereitungssystems
Unsauberes Trinkwasser ist ein ernstes weltweites Problem, insbesondere in Entwicklungsländern, wo schätzungsweise 9000 Menschen täglich an den Folgen von unhygienischem Trinkwasser sterben. Gesponsert von Riedon Inc. Manuell betriebenes Wasserreinigungssystem an...
Redesign Overcomes EOL & Supply Chain Obstacles
Unsafe drinking water is a serious global problem, especially in developing countries where it is estimated that 9,000 people die every day as a result of unsanitary drinking water. New Life International had to redesign its water purifier due to supply...
Riedon Shunts Helping To Solve A Global Tragedy
Riedon’s busbar shunts play an important role in New Life International’s water purification systems. New Life International operates as a non-profit organization. The Organization has been operating for over 50 years providing humanitarian relief by delivering food,...
Smart Shunts in Action
A prominent University in the Mid-West recently approached us looking for a current measurement solution. They are in the process of installing a high voltage DC system in one of their campus buildings. This means that everything in the building will be powered by...
Ultimate Guide to Resistors
Introduction Resistors are probably the most common and well-known of all electrical components. This guide to precision and power resistors answers all your questions about the four main resistor technologies and their performance. In these pages, you’ll find a...
Resister Characteristics And Their Definitions
Here’s a brief glossary of the most important terms used when describing resistors’ characteristics. Tolerance Resistor tolerance is the deviation from the nominal value. It is expressed as a ±%, measured at 25°C with no load applied. Some resistor designs have...
Wirewound Resistors
Like every component, the fabrication technology used in resistor manufacture has changed over time and resistive films, for example, have made a significant contribution in allowing the cost-effective mass production of devices that are increasingly miniaturized. Yet...
