Discharging Resistor

Capacitors need to be discharged quickly for the safe traction chain operations. The Discharging resistor is connected in parallel to guarantee the energy dissipation and avoid failures or damages.

We designed our resistors to guarantee maximum power dissipation within the available mechanical limits.

  • High Energy absorption up to 3 MJ
  • Light and compact units
  • Suitable for outdoor installation
  • Low inductance value
