'Z-Watt ''  Punched grid resistors consist of grids punched from corrosion resisting SS 304 grade Steel or a high-grade FrCrAl Alloy.

The plates may be switched in series and parallel. As a result, every conceivable resistance value can be realised quickly and easily.

Steel-grid resistors consist of steel elements or plates punched in a meandering pattern.

For mechanical stability the longitudinal sides of the grids are reinforced to allow the plates to be assembled into blocks with insulated threaded bolts.

Thanks to the large surface area, this structure results in particularly good heat emission and is therefore suitable for high continuous outputs. In addition, the large mass of the resistor packages permits very high impulse loads.
