Anti-Surge Fixed Resistors

Anti-surge fixed resistors are specially designed to withstand high levels of
inrush current, which can occur during power surges or when switching on a
device. When these resistors are exposed to a sudden surge of current, they can
generate a significant amount of heat and can even burn out if not designed to
handle such situations. Anti-surge resistors are constructed to have a higher
power rating and can handle a larger amount of current than standard resistors,
making them ideal for use in circuits where high surge currents may occur.
Anti-surge fixed resistors are typically made of carbon or metal oxide films
and are available in a range of resistance values and power ratings. They are
often used in power supplies, motor controls, and other applications where high
surge currents are likely to occur. When selecting an anti-surge fixed
resistor, it is important to ensure that the resistor is rated for the
appropriate power and current handling requirements of the circuit it will be
used in.
