What are Braking Resistors?

Cranes, lifts, elevators, turbines and electric vehicles including trains that use motors, require accurate and precise speed control. To achieve accurate speed control, it is important to have both control acceleration and deceleration, that is braking. Today, we are going to talk about braking resistors.

How to Measure Resistance and How to Detect Resistance?

There are many ways to measure resistance: ohmmeter, volt-ampere, volt-volt, ampere-ampere, bridge, substitution, comparison, half-deviation and so on. No matter what the method is, the experimental principle is no more than partial circuit Ohm's law and closed circuit Ohm's law as well as the basic law of series and parallel circuits.

The Difference between Carbon Film and Metal Film Resistors

Invented by Boykin in 1959, resistors are today commonly used in almost all electronic circuits. Resistors can be described as a device that resists the flow of current flowing through itself, back when the resistor size was very huge and the tolerance value reached as high as 10 percent when it was implemented.

What Is Thermistor and How Does It Works?

The thermistor is a semiconductor ceramic component made of transition metal oxide as the main raw material. It belongs to the category of negative temperature coefficient thermistor, and it has the characteristic that the resistance value changes with the change of temperature, that is, the resistance value. The temperature rises and falls.
