Power resistors

Power resistors for industrial electronics and energy conversion

Supply of high power, high voltage, braking, wire wound, variable, adjustable and water-cooled resistors for demanding industrial applications.

TOT POWER Iberia helps select power resistors for dissipation, braking, load, discharge, protection, testing and maintenance of power electronics equipment.

Power resistors for industrial applications supplied by TOT POWER Iberia

Industrial resistors for braking, dissipation, load, discharge, high voltage and high power applications.

Technical selection

Industrial resistors for dissipation, braking, load and protection

Power resistors are critical components in systems where electrical energy must be dissipated, current limited, voltages balanced, capacitors discharged, load tests performed or regenerative energy absorbed.

They are widely used in frequency converters, variable speed drives, servo drives, power supplies, load banks, rectifiers, railway systems, renewable energy, industrial machinery, lifting systems, welding equipment and test systems.

TOT POWER Iberia supports engineering teams, machinery manufacturers, industrial maintenance companies and technical purchasing departments that need to source a resistor compatible with their application.

High power resistors for industrial applications
High dissipation

High power resistors

High power resistors are designed to operate with high levels of thermal dissipation and current. They are suitable for applications where electrical stability, overload capability and thermal management are critical factors.

We can study wire wound, encapsulated, cemented, thick film, non-inductive or special resistor solutions depending on the resistance value, required power and mounting format.

  • Industrial power supplies.
  • AC/DC and DC/DC converters.
  • Capacitor discharge.
  • Load resistors.
  • Current limiting.
  • Test and validation systems.
High voltage resistors for dividers, discharge and measurement
High voltage

High voltage resistors

High voltage resistors are intended for circuits where high voltage levels must be handled while maintaining stability, insulation and reliable performance under demanding electrical stress.

They are commonly used in voltage dividers, high voltage power supplies, discharge circuits, capacitor balancing, instrumentation and measurement systems.

  • Voltage dividers.
  • High voltage power supplies.
  • Medical equipment and instrumentation.
  • Electrical testing.
  • Measurement systems.
  • Discharge or balancing circuits.
Braking resistors for drives, servos and industrial machinery
Dynamic braking

Braking resistors

Braking resistors are used to dissipate the energy regenerated by electric motors during deceleration, braking or controlled stop processes.

Selection must consider drive power, DC bus voltage, required resistance value, braking energy, duty cycle, available ventilation and environmental conditions.

  • Variable frequency drives.
  • Servo motors and servo drives.
  • Lifts and elevators.
  • Cranes and lifting machinery.
  • Conveyors.
  • Traction systems.
Wire wound power resistors for industrial applications
Robust construction

Wire wound resistors

Wire wound resistors are a robust solution for industrial applications requiring good overload capability, stability and thermal dissipation.

They can be studied in tubular, ceramic, vitreous enamelled, cemented, non-inductive or metal-mounted formats, depending on the electrical and mechanical requirements of the equipment.

  • Current limiting.
  • Load and discharge.
  • Braking.
  • Power supplies.
  • Welding equipment.
  • Electrical testing.
Variable and adjustable resistors for test benches and laboratories
Load adjustment

Variable and adjustable resistors

Variable and adjustable resistors allow the resistance value to be manually modified or a load to be configured according to the needs of the equipment, test bench or test procedure.

They are suitable for laboratories, load banks, power supply testing, equipment commissioning and simulation of operating conditions.

  • Test benches.
  • Power supply testing.
  • Load adjustment.
  • Electrical laboratories.
  • Equipment commissioning.
  • Load condition simulation.
Water-cooled resistors for high power applications
Liquid cooling

Water-cooled resistors

Water-cooled resistors are designed for very high power applications or reduced installation spaces, where air cooling is not sufficient or not convenient.

They allow large amounts of heat to be removed through a liquid cooling circuit, provided that hydraulic design, flow rate, pressure and electrical safety are correctly defined.

  • High power load banks.
  • Converter testing.
  • Traction systems.
  • Power generation equipment.
  • Renewable energy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about power resistors

Does TOT POWER Iberia supply power resistors from different manufacturers?

Yes. This page is focused on product type and application. TOT POWER Iberia can study power resistors and compatible alternatives according to the customer’s technical data, without limiting the proposal to a specific brand.

Can you search for an equivalent based on an old reference?

Yes. We can study alternatives based on the original reference, photograph, resistance value, power rating, dimensions, construction technology and operating conditions.

What data is needed to select a braking resistor?

It is advisable to know the drive power, DC bus voltage, required resistance value, braking cycle, operating time, available ventilation and environmental conditions.

Can special resistors be supplied according to drawing or specification?

Yes. We can study special solutions when enough data is available to define power, resistance, voltage, format, fixing, cooling and service conditions.

When is it advisable to use a water-cooled resistor?

When the power to be dissipated is high, the available space is limited or air cooling is not sufficient to keep the temperature within safe operating limits.
