Working Principle

The PWR221T-30-2500F resistor functions by the conversion of electrical energy to thermal energy when the electrical current flows through it. This results in a decrease in voltage at the resistor itself. This is known as the voltage drop principle.

The amount of power dissipated in the resistor is equal to the amount of current that flows through the resistor multiplied by the voltage drop across the resistor. The resistance of the resistor is predictable and does not change significantly over time or with temperature changes.

The resistor also functions as a current limiter. This limits the amount of current that can pass through the resistor, preventing damage to other components or circuits.
