Matched Sets
Resistors in a set can be supplied for use as precision voltage
dividers matched for tolerance and TCR down to 0.5% and
10ppm/°C.

Application Notes
Mounting
Due to the high voltage which can appear between the end
cap and any adjacent metal part, resistors should be mounted
at an adequate distance from other conductors.
For some high voltage applications it is required to immerse
the components in oil or gas to reduce the effects of corona
and surface tracking. The protective coating is suitable for
these applications.
The axial termination should not be bent closer than twice
the diameter of the terminal wire from the body of the
resistor.
When the resistors are required to be potted, the preferred
encapsulant is a silicone compound.
For voltage dividers with a low resistance section below the
minimum available value of 1k ohms, it is normal practice to
use a Welwyn resistor, RC Series, obtainable down to 1ohm.
Packaging
Resistors are supplied packed in boxes.
