The MFPS high power rheostats, rotary variable power wire wound resistors, are heavy duty which feature resistance ranges from 25W, 50W, 100W, 300W and 500W.
Rheostats do not have a standard resistance value, all are designed and manufactured to a customer's application requirements. Different load currents and resistance ranges require different resistance materials to withstand the current and achieve the resistance value.
Two rheostats with the same power rating doesn't mean they have the same maximum load current capacity.
Please tell following parameters for your application.
i) maximum Resistance and minimum Current
ii) minimum Resistance and maximum Current
For power larger than 3kW, please refer to MFPR's tandem mounted rheostat bank.
