Resistor Cage, 5 slot – RC5

Resistor cages are used to build load banks. Resistor cages are built with GP0-3 electrical insulating fiberglass to withstand temperatures to 300 degrees F. The cages hold 5 resistors in either a parallel or series configuration. Buss bars and terminal plates are available.

Included are fiberglass frame, 6 insulator standoffs and 20 springs. 6 insulator standoffs allow for connection of all resistors in either series or parallel.  The standoffs are designed for both high temperature and high voltage.  Extra standoffs are available under the ‘Resistor Accessories’ menu for special connection schemes.

‘Note: the resistor rack design was changed in April of 2023 to make it smaller and to stabilize the resistors in forced air.  The new design uses different springs.’
