One of the wire wound precision shunt values we tested was a high precision value of ten milliOhms, a 10 watt part (PLV10AL 0.01 Ω ±1%) that developed over 30 amperes under full load. Because of its aluminum oxide rectangular case and special low TCR element, the resistance change under load was less than ±0.1% and there was virtually no measurable EMF, now that is a breakthrough! We certainly were impressed with the results and we are very confident that our premium wire wound components will outperform the competition and far exceed your expectations.
The quality to resist permanent change must be designed into the resistor, sensor, or shunt right from the start. It is very difficult to stabilize or condition a general-purpose resistor, sensor, or shunt and be confident that it will meet a critical application. All of our components will adhere to published precision stability specifications... even if you specify 1% resistance tolerances. This is accomplished through the implementation of custom design elements, utilizing processes such as artificially aging components when deemed necessary among a handful of other techniques drawing from 75+ years of experience in the design & commercial manufacturing of custom precision wire wound resistors, wire wound sensors and wire wound shunts.
These should all be considered as "one spec" when you require very accurate precision wire wound passive electrical components, the TCR characteristics and ambient operating temperature span are both vital factors that must always be considered as part of the equation to ensure compliance to the specific precision specifications your application calls for.
* Important Note:TCRs specified by PRC are calculated between the temp. range of +25 through +100° C.
Please check with us for expected TCRs outside of this range prior to placing an order.
Is expressed as a plus or minus percentage of the nominal ohmic value. The ohm is named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm who 1st discovered & documented its properties. The ohm is denoted by the symbol (Ω). All PRC's wire wound precision resistors are calibrated and tested within precision specified limits at +25 Degrees Celsius, unless it has otherwise been noted.
Since heat and cold are directly related to the TCR characteristics and the resistance tolerance in precision wire wound electrical components specifically, please be sure to specify the surrounding operational conditions that will be present during the use of all wire wound type precision resistors as well as any and all other high precision wire wound passive electrical components you might be utilizing in a precision application design.
Full power ratings for all our wire wound resistor types are based upon standard (1%) resistance tolerances - at 25 degrees C. or to 125 degrees C., regardless of the resistor category selected. Derating is required for higher temperatures and closer tolerances, please refer to derating curves for each type of specific wire wound resistor. Sometimes a physically larger part or closer (to zero) TCR Characteristic will help, however heat is heat and must be carried off in some manner. Wire wound resistors are ideal for higher heat dissipation applications so if it is ultra precise resistance tolerances that your application calls for then precision resistor company is exactly the right choice to manufacture your precision wire wound passive electrical component.
The temperature coefficient of resistance is the variation in resistance with respect to a change in temperature (ambient and/or self-generated). For precision wire wound resistors, sensors, & shunts, this change is expressed in parts per million (ppm), percent (%) or in Ω/ Ω per one degree Celsius and is calculated over the span of +25 to +100 Deg. C., using 25 & 100 as the standard reference points in the equation.
