The devices feature power of 8kW at 40°C, which is 23% higher than standard 6500W stainless steel grid resistors in the standard mill bank size. At the same time, GREM devices are 30% lighter than stainless steel grid resistors with the same power dissipation, and offer a favourable price point.
These specifications make the devices ideal for load banks, dynamic braking, and motor control in low vibration industrial and alternative energy applications.
GREM resistors feature a resistance range from 0.067Ω to 24.273Ω, with a tolerance of ± 10%, temperature coefficients down ± 130ppm/°C, and currents from 18A to 345A.
The devices offer high temperature operation to +415°C.
Samples and production quantities of the GREM series are available now, with lead times of four weeks.
