10 OHM - 100 WATT power resistor for 24 volt systems.
These resistors have been selected specifically to perform as diversion (dummy) loads in solar/wind/hydro alternate energy systems.
Place multiple resistors in parallel to increase the total wattage. See chart below.
Unlike water heating elements, these resistors do not need to be submerged in water or oil, they will dissipate the incoming energy in free air.
Each of the resistors we sell has been selected based on it's ability to dissipate a very specific amount of power (watts) with a very specific resistance value (ohms), at a very specific voltage. When used as recommended, they will not burn out, even under continuous use.
Please note. These resistors will become hot during normal use, please mount them away from heat sensitive objects and out of the reach of children.
Dimensions: Resistor body 6.5" long .8" diam. -- 5.85" terminals, center to center. .15" diam terminal hole size.

This 10 ohm resistor will dissipate 2.9 amps at 29 volts. This is 84.10 watts. Since the resistor is rated at 100 watts, this is within its safe operating range.
Place multiple resistors in parallel to increase the wattage/amperage.
- 1 resistor at 30 volts = 90 watts.
- 2 resistors in parallel at 30 volts = 180 watts.
- 3 resistors in parallel at 30 volts = 270 watts.
- 9 resistors in parallel at 30 volts = 810 watts. -- You get the picture.
