MNR18ERAPJ680 Resistors

Resistor Networks, Arrays commonly used in the field of electrical engineering can be used to control currents and voltages in a circuit. Amongst these Resistor Networks and Arrays is the MNR18ERAPJ680. This Resistor Network is designed to be used when an accurate high voltage divider is needed to step down a high voltage level for temperature measurement or other applications.

The MNR18 ERAPJ680 is made up of 20 resistors, and can handle up to 560Vac. The resistors have the same size, but they vary in resistance values. For instance, the first resistor has a value of 12K ohm, the second resistor has a value of 14K ohm, the third resistor has a value of 16K ohm, the fourth resistor has a value of 18K ohm, and so on. To ensure accuracy, the resistors are all stamped with their individual non-interchangeable resistance values

The MNR18ERAPj 680 works on the basis of voltage division. This is accomplished by combining resistors in series whereby each resistor of value x is connected to the next resistor of value y, where y is less than or equal to x. This creates a voltage divider such that, for each value of x, only a portion of the total voltage flowing through the circuit will be lost. This can be seen in the diagram below, where R_1 is the highest resistance resistor of value 12K ohm.

When a voltage higher than the resistor\'s valuex is applied, the portion of the total voltage that is lost will be equal to the portion of the total voltage applied to the resistor divided by the total number of resistors. In the case of the MNR18ERAPJ680, the resistor with the highest resistance has a value of 12K ohm. Knowing this, the total voltage applied to the resistor can be calculated as being equal to the total voltage applied to the circuit multiplied by the ratio of the resistor\'s resistance to the total number of resistors.

The MNR18ERAPJ680 can be used for applications where accurate high voltage divider is needed. This is useful for applications such as temperature measurement or for process control. For example, the MNR18ERAPJ680 can properly and precisely regulate the voltage applied to a heating element in order to accurately hold a temperature range. The MNR18ERAPJ680 is also ideal for current sensing, either directly or using voltage dividers, as it can accurately divide the voltage across the independent resistors.

In conclusion, the MNR18ERAPJ680 is a resistor network and array suitable for a variety of applications requiring a high voltage divider. It consists of 20 resistors with varying resistance values and a maximum voltage of 560Vac. The resistors work together to divide the voltage and help to ensure accurate voltage regulation. The MNR18ERAPJ680 is perfect for temperature measurement and current sensing, and can be used for process control in a variety of industrial applications.
