Vishay Intertechnology to Highlight Latest Grid and Ribwound Resistors at POWER-GEN International® 2016
December 01 2016 - 11:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today announced that the
company will be exhibiting its latest grid and ribwound resistors
for oil and gas, industrial, and renewable energy power systems at
POWER-GEN International® 2016, the world’s largest power generation
event. Taking place Dec. 13-15 at the Orange County Convention
Center, in Orlando, Florida, Vishay will be highlighting the Vishay
Milwaukee GRE1 and GRE2 series of high-power, high-current grid
resistors, RBEF / RBSF series of ribwound resistors,
and NGR series of neutral ground resistors in booth 5539.
Vishay’s GRE1 and GRE2 series grid resistors are optimized for
capacitor pre-charge and discharge, dynamic braking, load testing,
heater, and neutral grounding applications in locomotive, harmonic
filters, and renewable energy and industrial systems. The devices
offer high power ratings to 24 kW at +40 °C, high operating
temperatures to +415 °C, a wide resistance range from 0.02 Ω to 110
Ω — with tolerance of ± 10 % — and low inductance from 5 µH to 150
µH. Featuring double insulation for maximum cooling efficiency, the
resistors can be mounted in IP00, IP20, and IP23 enclosures for
indoor and outdoor use.
Ideal for pulsing
applications, RBEF / RBSF series ribwound
resistors are designed to meet heavy-duty requirements in systems
where space is at a premium. Providing high reliability, the
devices offer an all-welded construction and are available with
high-temperature silicone or vitreous enamel coatings. The
resistors feature power ratings from 40 W to 2 kW and a wide
on-resistance range from 0.010 Ω to 525 Ω, and they are available
individually with simple hardware, open mounted on bracket, or
mounted inside screened or outdoor-rated enclosures.
NGR series devices offer high-temperature performance to +760 °C
in rugged, weatherproof IP23-rated enclosures. Designed to provide
ground fault, overvoltage, and short circuit protection for
generators and transformers in wye (star) configurations without
exceeding the temperature limitations outlined by IEEE-32, the
resistors deliver extremely high line-neutral voltage to 8 kV,
system voltage to 13.8 kV, and current ratings to 1000 A. The
devices offer a tied live design to eliminate floating voltages in
the assembly.
