Arcol Power Resistors

Established Manufacturer for 70 Years

Arcol specialise in power resistors, from design and purchasing to technical advice and sales. Special technologies are used in the high voltage/high resistance, low ohms/foil/current sense, high pulse/energy absorb, thick film and wirewound products.

Arcol can assist in resolving special requirements in applications such as traction (auxiliary power devices), power generation and distribution, motor drives, power supplies, and GTO protection circuits.

Power resistors are made from materials with high thermal conductivity in order to allow efficient cooling, resistors are designed to dissipate a large amount of power. All power resistors are designed to dissipate the most amount of power possible whilst keeping their size as small as possible.

We offer a broad range of power resistors designed for power generation, traction, renewables, drives and controls and marine applications. We are a leading provider of resistive products for high current, high voltage and high energy applications in the medical, transport, military/aerospace and power distribution industries.

Medical

With a wide array of components for motion control, circuit conditioning and circuit protection, we have the proven quality and reliability for applications crucial to the accurate diagnosis of patients throughout the world.

Transportation

Our transportation solutions are customised to customers specifications and are flexible to every requirement.

Military/Aerospace

With a wide range of components for motion control and circuit conditioning, we offer a complete line of precision resistive products for military and aerospace needs.

Power Distribution

Our power resistors service demanding high current, load bank and power distribution markets.

We stock a wide range of power resistors, including: FPA Style and thick Film Resistors, HS Aluminium Resistors, Vitreous Enamelled Resistors and OHMITE Tap 1000 and 2000 Series Resistors.

All of our resistors are manufactured in line with the requirements of MIL 18546 and IEC 115 and are designed for direct heatsink mounting with thermal compound to achieve maximum performance.
