| Neutral Grounding Resistors |
 |
The purpose of a neutral grounding resistor is to limit the fault current to a safe level so that all the
electrical equipment in the power system are protected. The resistor is connected between the
neutral of power transformers or power generators and ground. more... |

| Dynamic Braking Resistors |
 |
The purpose of a dynamic braking resistor is to slow down or to quickly stop a motor by draining
excess voltage and keeping it within safe tolerances. This can help to lower the wear and tear of
friction braking components, enable faster braking, and eliminate the risk of a runaway due to
overheating. more... |

| Motor Control Resistors |
 |
The purpose of a motor control resistor is to control the speed and torque of AC and DC motors.
The resistors can adjust the speed and torque by limiting the in-rush current to predetermined
values through the use of contactors that short sections of the resistor in sequence. more... |

| Discharge Resistors |
 |
The purpose of a discharge resistor is to allow for a controlled current discharge of capacitors,
reactors and superconductive magnetic coils. The resistor is generally connected across the
high and low potential plates or terminals. more... |
