Sigma

The sigma resistors cover a power range from 100W to 7kW average load and it is a popular economically type of brake resistors capable of solving many brake resistor jobs. The resistor components consist of fully welded wire wound ceramic resistors, which is a well-known and proven technology. The base material is cordierite, which is a type of ceramic with a very high resistance to temperature changes and the wire is coated with aluminum phosphate to protect the wire and conduct the heat developed in the wire onto the ceramic core. Aluminum-phosphate is stable up to 500°C. The resistor cages comply with IP20 (IP21 for UL versions)  giving electrical and thermal protection  The resistors having a nominal load from 100W - 7kW are particularly suitable for pulse load of 10 - 20 times or more compared to the nominal load because of the ceramic core material and an extra high weight of the wire.
