2. Max Overload Voltage is 2 times of Max Working voltage
3. RN 1W & RN 1WL are coated by flameproof paint
4.2 Structure :
4.2.1 Ceramic Rod:
It is made of Forste imported from Japan.
4.2.2 Terminal:
Terminal is to be firmly connected with resistors element, both electrically
and mechanically, and allow easy soldering.
4.2.3 Coating:
Coating is done by EPOXY insulating paint which is solid enough to be free
from looseness, crack and easy breakage. The paint shall be limited within
1mm of lead wires from resistors body. (Coating can also be made by
flameproof paint upon request.)
4.2.4 Marking:
Marking is made on resistors surface by color coding.

5. Operating Temperature Range: -65℃½175℃
6. Mechanical Performance:
6.1 Terminal tensile:
To Fix the resistor body, a static load of 1kg.is to be gradually applied into the
terminal for 10 seconds without causing any looseness and fall.
6.2 Twist withstand:
To bend the lead wire at the point of about 6mm from resistor body to 90°, then
catch the wire at 1.2
±0.4mm
apart from the bent point end and turn it (clockwise)
by 360 degrees perpendicular to the resistor axis at speed of 5 seconds per turn,
and do the same counterclockwise again which constitute a whole turn. Repeat
the turn 2 times without causing any break and looseness.

7.3 Short Time Over Load:
When the resistors are applied 2.5 times as much as rated voltage for 5 seconds
continuously, it shows no evidence of arc, flame...etc. Removing the voltage and
place the resistors to the normal condition for 30 minutes, the resistance value
change rate between pre-and-post test shall be within
±0.5%.
