A pulse resistor is a resistor installed in a circuit to prevent a “surge” when conditions arise where a surge might occur. There are a number instances where energizing a circuit is followed by a surge of current. Like almost all the time. When that...

One of the most frequently asked questions that we receive at Riedon, is whether we can offer “Joule rated” or “pulse rated” resistors? Electrical surges are a common failure mode for many types of resistors, and its essential to help our customers to evaluate the...
