FVR Rheostat Variable Power Resistors Rheostat Variable Power Resistors C-shaped Wirewound Variable Resistors - FVR Series Rheostat, Variable Resistors Control The Speed of a Motor Preview SRPassives Power Variable Resistor FVR Series is a C-shaped ceramic rod and wound with copper or chromium-alloy wire as a resistance element. Except for the slide contact surface, the entire component is coated with a high-temperature, non-flammable resin. After cooling and drying, insulation is applied through a high-temperature process. Then, a centered rotating adjuster component is installed, which slides along the resistance element and varies the resistance to the desired value. Variable Resistors are often called potentiometers in books and catalogues. Variable FVR may be used as a rheostat with two connections (the wiper and just one end of the track) or as a potentiometer with all three connections in use. Applications : Motor controller also use FVR Series as rheostats or potentiometer to control the speed of a motor by limiting the flow of current through them. They are used in many small appliances such as blenders, mixers, fans, and power tools. FVR Rheostats Series are also used as test instruments to provide an accurate resistance value. While FVR can be used to control electric ovens and cooktops, thermostats are preferred because they have additional parts which automatically adjust the current flow to maintain a constant temperature. Features : Standard resistance tolerance is K(10%). Closer tolerances are available upon request. 3 Wattage Rating styles to choose: 25W, 50W, and 100W. Wide Max. Resistance range: 5 ~ 5K. The FVR Series is RoHS compliant and lead free.

After End Resistance Value confirmed, the minimum resistance (start resistance value) will be determined by depending on resistance of wire and wirewound type. Power Rating of Variable Resistor: The part Nunber formation of FVR, DQS, DSRA, DSRB, BSR, BSQ: Product type Rated Wattage Resistance Value () Resistance Tolerance - - - Product type means one of FVR, DQS, DSRA, DSRB, BSR, BSQ. Rated Wattage means power rating at End Resistance Value. Resistance Value () means maximum resistance value (End Resistance Value). Resistance Tolerance means precision range of End Resistance Value. 1. Power Rating of VR (Variable Resistor) is determined by the maximum resistance value (End Resistance Value). 2. Resistance and Power Rating should be decreased while you are adjusting the screw. 2 H
