Overview
The Ohmite 0600C is a heavy-duty 100-watt wirewound power resistor engineered for applications requiring precision resistance values and continuous power dissipation. Its 1-ohm resistance with ±1% tolerance makes it suitable for load banks, power conditioning, dynamic braking circuits, and test fixtures where accuracy and reliability are critical. Vitreous enameled construction protects the windings and ensures consistent performance across thermal cycles.
