High Voltage Energy Absorbing Resistors: Specifications and Requirements
High voltage energy absorbing resistors are critical components in various electrical applications, particularly in high voltage systems where energy dissipation and stability are paramount. In this article, we will explore the specifications, technical parameters, and environmental requirements of high voltage energy absorbing resistors rated at 100 kV or higher. Rated Voltage and Testing Conditions The rated voltage for these resistors is set at ≥100 kV. To ensure their reliability and performance, acceptance testing is conducted at 1.2 times the rated voltage, which means that the acceptance voltage reaches 120 kV. Furthermore, these resistors must withstand standard lightning impulse voltages characterized by a waveform of 1.2/50 μs. Testing conditions are crucial for validating the performance of high voltage energy absorbing resistors. These tests are carried out in a controlled environment filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas, under an absolute pressure of 0.2 MPa. Th...
