Additionally, it can be used in motor and inverter controls and communication systems.

Working Principle:

The working principle of a chassis mount resistor is relatively simple. When a voltage is applied to the resistor, a static electric field is created and current flows through the resistor. This electric field creates an opposing force, which in turn reduces the current flowing through the resistor. This is the principle behind resistance. The resistance level of the carbon resistor depends on the size and number of carbon granules that are used. The larger the grains, the higher the resistance. In the case of the AHA500FB-20R5, the resistance level is 20 Ohms.
