Dufew Tubular Resistor Box is designed for industrial braking and load testing applications where stable performance and high environmental protection are required. Featuring sealed stainless steel tubular resistor elements filled with high-temperature magnesium oxide insulation, it provides excellent heat dissipation, vibration resistance, and moisture protection. With flexible power and resistance configurations, it is suitable for frequency converters, motor drive systems, cranes, elevators, and industrial automation equipment.
Tubular Resistor Box is a high-performance resistor assembly designed to absorb and dissipate excess electrical energy generated during motor deceleration, emergency stop, or load testing processes. It is widely used in industrial drive systems, power electronics equipment, and energy management applications.
Manufactured by Dufew Electric, the resistor box adopts sealed stainless steel tubular resistor elements with nickel-chromium alloy resistance wires precisely wound inside. The internal structure is filled with high-density magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation material, which provides excellent electrical insulation and efficient heat transfer.
Compared with traditional open-type wire wound resistors or conventional resistor boxes, the tubular design offers better protection against dust, moisture, oil contamination, and mechanical impact, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Each tubular resistor element supports a power range from 50W to 3000W. Multiple elements can be connected in series or parallel to achieve customized power ratings up to 30kW, with resistance values available from 0.01Ω to 1kΩ.
Structural Design Features
Sealed Stainless Steel Tubular Resistor Elements
Each resistor tube is independently sealed with a stainless steel outer shell and filled with magnesium oxide insulation material. The fully enclosed structure prevents moisture, dust, and oil from reaching the resistance wire, improving long-term stability and service life.
Efficient Heat Dissipation Structure
The tubular elements are arranged horizontally with sufficient spacing between each tube. This design improves airflow circulation and allows heat to transfer evenly through the metal surface, reducing localized overheating during continuous operation.
Enhanced Corrosion Protection
The resistor box combines stainless steel tubular elements with a protective metal enclosure to improve resistance against corrosion, industrial dust, and harsh operating environments. It is suitable for applications in workshops, outdoor installations, and industrial sites with high humidity or chemical exposure.
Independent Modular Replacement Design
Each tubular resistor element is mounted independently, allowing individual replacement without removing the complete resistor box. This reduces maintenance time and minimizes equipment downtime.
Key Advantages
- Fully sealed tubular structure: Protects internal resistance elements from moisture, dust, oil, and industrial contaminants.
- High thermal conductivity: Magnesium oxide filling provides efficient heat transfer and stable temperature performance.
- Strong mechanical durability: Stainless steel construction offers excellent vibration resistance and impact protection.
