Title: Resistor pulse-handling capability

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6532245· OSTI ID:6532245

Methods for calculating pulse-handling capabilities of various resistor types are described. The work represents a compilation of studies derived from various sources, as indicated in the bibliography. The results indicate that resistors may be subjected to short-duration pulses exceeding their rated powers without sustaining permanent damage.
