The advantages of non-inductive bulk ceramic resistors

Bulk ceramic resistors from Kanthal Globar are superior to non-inductive wire wound, film and composition resistors for your demanding design situations involving high voltage, current or energy. Features include:

High reliability; no film or wire to fail
Able to withstand short-time overloads and high peak power
Chemically inert and thermally stable
Available in flexible geometries and a wide range of sizes - from 1/2 watt to a 1,000 watts in a single component
High power and energy dissipation in space saving designs
Simple construction allows for uniform energy absorption throughout the resistor body, enabling a highly reliable resistive characteristic
