Some of the important information about Wire-wound resistors:
- High resistance wire (Nichrome wire) wound on ceramic kind of material (ceramic is the insulating material here)
- These are the resistors which have high inductance
- Considering the inductance, these resistors cannot be used at higher frequencies as inductance dominates
- Preferred for Low frequency or DC applications only
- Available up to higher wattage as well like 100 Watts
- Highly accurate
- Resistors available in wide range from ohms to kilo ohms
- Can be operated at higher temperature
- Categories: Power type and precision type
Wire-wound resistors cannot be used for Higher frequencies, like for example RF applications.
