The impediment to the current of the
conductor is called the resistance of the conductor. High-voltage resistors are
the most commonly used element in all electronic circuits. The main function is
to hinder the current flow, used in current limiting, shunt, drop voltage,
partial pressure, load and capacitor for the filter and impedance matching,
etc. Digital circuits have pull-up resistors and pull-down resistors.
Resistors are the most used component in
all electronic circuits. The main physical feature of a resistor is transferring
the electrical energy to thermal energy. It can be named a dissipative
component that generates internal energy when current passes through it.
Resistors in the circuit usually are the role of partial pressure shunt, for the
signals, both AC and DC signals can pass through the resistors.
Resistor has a certain resistance, which
represents the size of the resistor's blocking force on the current flow. The
unit of resistance is ohm, symbol "Ω". In the SI system, the unit of
resistance is Ω, in addition to mΩ, KΩ, MΩ. Exchange formula: 1MΩ=1000KΩ=1000000Ω=1000000000mΩ.
High voltage resistors are suitable for use
in high voltage, high voltage shock, high voltage and high frequency
environments. Here are classification for high voltage resistors below:
1. Tubular ceramic non-inductor high
voltage resistors are 100% ceramic body resistors, pure non-inductor, high
voltage resistance, the maximum impact voltage is up to 75KV, can withstand
greater current, higher peak energy in short times; no failure phenomenon like
wire wound resistors and molded resistor.
2. High-voltage lead-free wafer resistors are
sintered by using a mixture of metal oxides and ceramic materials at high
temperatures. They can withstand the effect of instant high temperature and
high pressure, mainly applied in cars and motorcycles ignition.
3. High-pressure metal-ceramic damping
resistors have superior high-voltage high-current surge characteristics, and
more stable than the wire wound resistors and film resistors. Suitable for
high-voltage circuit design.
4. Oxide film high voltage high frequency
resistors use tubular ends which are silver or gold electrode structure, mainly
used for UHF circuit load.
5. Rod-shaped high voltage glass glaze film
resistors are mainly used in AC or DC circuits, pulse circuit and high-voltage
equipment.
6. Flake high voltage glass glaze film
resistors are mainly used in AC and DC circuits, pulse circuits and
high-voltage equipment.
