6.Coating
¡@
¡@6.1 The body of the resistor is covered by nonflammable silicon resin.
¡@6.2 The maximum length of the lead wire covered by the resin is 2mm.
¡@6.3 The maximum area of the end cap which is not covered by the resin is half of the diameter of
¡@6.3 the cap.
¡@6.4 The status of coating condition described by 6.2 and 6.3 are acceptable.
 
7.Characteristics of electrical performance :
¡@7.1 Rated power
¡@The rated power indicates the maximum power the resistor can endure continuously when the
¡@ambient temperature is equal to or lower than 70¢J. When the ambient temperature is higher than
¡@70¢J, the rated power of the resistor is determined by the derating curve described in the following
¡@figure.
¡@
 
¡@7.2 Rated voltage
¡@The rated voltage of a resistor is either a continuous DC voltage or an AC rms voltage which can be
¡@calculated by the following formula. If the calculated rated voltage is higher than the highest
¡@working voltage then the highest working voltage should be used as the rated voltage.
¡@¡@P: Rated power(W), R: Nominal resistance(£[), E: Rated voltage(V)
 
¡@7.3 Insulation resistance (Ref. JIS C5202 5.6)
¡@Equipment : Insulation resistance tester
¡@The body of the resistor is wrapped by the aluminum foil without extending beyond the resistor
¡@body. Clap one electrode on the aluminum foil and the other electrode on the lead wire. Apply 100V
¡@or 500V from the tester for 1 min. and the measured resistance value should be larger than
¡@1,000MW.
 
¡@7.4 Dielectric strength (Ref. JIS C5202 5.7)
¡@Equipment: Dielectric strength tester
¡@The body of the resistor is wrapped by the aluminum foil without extending beyond the resistor
¡@body. Clap one electrode on the aluminum foil and the other electrode on the lead wire. Apply
¡@following voltage from the tester to the resistor for 1 min.. No flash-over, burning or breakdown
¡@should be observed.

¡@7.5 Short time overload (SOL) (Ref. JIS C5202 5.5)
¡@Equipment: S.O.L. tester.
¡@Apply 2 times of rated voltage to the resistors for 5 seconds. After the test, the sample should be
¡@stabilized at room temperature for 30 min. before the resistance is measured. The change of the
¡@resistance before and after the test should be: ¡Ó(2%+0.1£[).
 
¡@7.6 Flame proof (Ref. to JIS C5202 7.12.3.4 (2)c)
¡@Equipment: AC power supply
¡@Apply 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, 16 times and 32 times of rated voltage sequentially. The duration
¡@for each voltage application is 1 min.. The resistor should not demonstrate arcing, burning or melt
¡@down except the applied voltage exceeds 10 times of rated power. Under this circumstance of
¡@applied more than 10 times of rated power, arcing or burning is acceptable but the duration should
¡@be less than 5 sec. And the height of flame should be less than 3.5mm. The maximum applied
¡@voltage should not exceed 4 times of the value listed in the following table:
