      • Power Resistors

      • For more than 100 years Ruhstrat power resistors have been used all around the world in many electrotechnical fields. Our concept is to offer complete solutions and to be a reliable partner for our customers. We develop and manufacture power resistors for a large variety of different technical applications, in a power range from 10W up to several 5.000 kW. Ruhstrat is not only characterized by a broad application programme but most notably by the know-how concerning project planning of various resistor plants. According to the requirements and specifications of the respective project we dimension and manufacture the desired resistor plant.

        rated power 50 W up to 5.000 kW
          • Load Resistors

          • Whether they are needed for test purposes and for proving batteries, transformers, generators, power generation aggregates and power supply units or as load bank for your test field – Ruhstrat offers you an economic solution for each kind of application. Power values of several MW under permanent operation as well as special constructions can be implemented. The devices which are in most of the cases customized products can be equipped with any kind of step control, regulation, measurement and control unit.
          • Test Resistors

          • Whether you need a proof of functioning for generators or a load bank for your test field, we offer you an economic solution for each kind of application. Power values of several MW under permanent operation as well as special constructions can be implemented. In case of test field application the operation surface of the resistor enclosure is made with screenprint, if desired, for easier and clearer usability.

             
          • Laboratory Resistors

          • Ruhstrat laboratory resistors have been developed specially for schools, colleges, institutes and universities. Whether they are needed as fixed resistors, slide resistors or variable resistors - all laboratory resistors are completely equipped with bottom plate and rubber feet, shock-proof Ruhstrat binding posts and earthing terminal as well as with a protective cover.

             
          • Steel Grid Resistors

          • Ruhstrat resistor elements are available with resistances ranging from 8.8 mOhm to 6.2 Ohm.

            The continuous output of these grids is approximately 500 W.

            The plates may be switched in series and parallel. As a result, every conceivable resistance value can be realised quickly and easily. You may choose between standard stainless steel resistor elements or our special alloyed version.
             
          • Tube Resistors
             

          • High-quality ceramic tubes, perfect windings are the basis of the high quality of our tube resistance and allow for long life and high reliability. By a layer of a special cementing the windings are mechanically fixed and protected against external influences, which removes the heat dissipation is improved.
          • Wirewound Resistors
             

          • For the winding of the resistors round resistor wire or band made of Isotan CuNi44 is used, with a very small thermal coefficient of resistance. Our resistor elements are outstandingly suitable, specially for applications which demand a high resistance accuracy over a broad temperature range. Thanks to the high resistance accuracy there are no tolerances with the resistance values. The resistor elements serve for the assembly of big load resistors. Thanks to their space-saving construction, their flat design and their modular system they are all-purpose resistor elements.
          • Variable Toroidal Resistor (Potentiometer)

          • Stepless adjustable, these rheostats offer flexibility in the smallest place. Operation can manual or motor driven, but in either case Ruhstrat can supply modules to meet your individual requirements with drives and limit switches. All rheostats are fitted with 3 terminals and insulated axis. Therefore, they can be used as voltage divider and also as compensating resistance. Silver contacts are used for making contact. He windings are mechanically fixed and protected against influence from outside by a layer made of special cementation so that the dissipation of heat is improved.
          • Braking Resistors
             

          • Ruhstrat braking resistors can take short-time loads as well as the desired permanent power (e. g. braking resistors for frequency converter drives). For smaller drives resistor elements are very frequently used and for bigger drives steel grid resistors are used.
          • Damping Resistors

          • Ruhstrat damping resistors are integral parts of inrush current damping units. Especially with the manufacture of transformers damping resistors are used for limiting the inrush current. With Ruhstrat inrush current damping units inrush currents are limited to the 3.5-fold rated current.
          • Starting Resistors

          • Whether you need a proof of functioning for generators or a load bank for your test field, we offer you an economic solution for each kind of application. Power values of several MW under permanent operation as well as special constructions can be implemented. In case of test field application the operation surface of the resistor enclosure is made with screenprint, if desired, for easier and clearer usability.
          • Discharge Resistors

          • By means of Ruhstrat discharge resistors inductive and capacitive components resp. batteries are discharged. With batteries they are used to ascertain which is the remaining capacity of an accumulator battery which had been fully charged before. Whether you need the discharge resistor for insertion into substations or as mobile device, with natural air cooling or with forced air ventilation, Ruhstrat has the ideal solution for each kind of application.
          • Grounding Resistors

          • In medium-voltage mains with neutral earthing with low resistance our grounding resistors limit a coming up earth fault current to an admissible maximum value until the respective protective relays have switched off the faulty circuit. Ruhstrat grounding resistors are completely delivered according to the customer´s requirements, with a current transformer, no-load switch or load switch etc.
