18 Ohmite

1. Power Rating: This is the amount of watts a device can handle and is usually expressed in watts or volts-amps. 2. Resistance: This is usually expressed in ohms. This specifies how much resistance an Ohmite will provide to a voltage or current passing through it. 3. Gap: This is the gap or space between metal or ceramic pieces that make up the resistive element of an Ohmite. 4. Temperature Rating: This is the maximum temperature an Ohmite can withstand. This is usually expressed in Celsius or Fahrenheit. 5. Tolerance: This is the degree of accuracy an Ohmite can maintain when used with a specific voltage or current. 6. Insulation: This specifies the material used to insulate the Ohmite from its surroundings and any liquids that may come into contact with it. 7. Size: This is the physical size of the Ohmite and is usually expressed in either inches or centimeters. 8. Rated Voltage: This is the maximum voltage an Ohmite can handle. 9. Rated Current: This is the maximum current an Ohmite can handle. 10. Dielectric Strength: This is usually expressed in Volts/cm and is the maximum electrical potential difference the Ohmite can handle before it breaks down and becomes electrically conductive. 11. Dielectric Loss: This is the amount of energy lost through dielectric absorption as the Ohmite is heated. 12. Environmental Rating: This specifies how well the Ohmite is able to withstand extreme environmental conditions such as exposure to water or particular temperatures. 13. Connections: This specifies how the Ohmite is connected to other devices and also includes the types of terminals used. 14. Endurance: This is the number of cycles an Ohmite can withstand without major deterioration. 15. Overload Capacity: This is the amount of energy beyond the rated power that an Ohmite can safely, handle without damage. 16. Arc Resistance: This is the amount of time it takes for an Ohmite to extinguish an arc formed between electrodes in a circuit. 17. Color Coding: This is used to quickly and accurately identify different Ohmite values. 18. Enclosure: This is usually plastic, metal or ceramic and surrounds the Ohmite to protect it from dirt and corrosion.
