General Information
Vitreous enamelled wirewound resistors are capable of
withstanding a higher dissipation size for size, than any other
protected type; this is attributable to the higher operating
temperature which the wire and enamel can withstand.
Vitreous enamel provides exceptionally good protection to the
wire element and is essentially impervious to moisture. The
resistors can safely be used in harsh environmental conditions.
The Welwyn range is based on thirteen sizes of tube, each of
which has a recommended maximum dissipation which limits
operating surface temperature to a maximum of 375°C.
The stability and high reliability of Welwyn tubular vitreous
resistors is a direct result of the best quality materials being
used in their construction.
High purity ceramic tubes have been matched with nickel
chromium resistance wires and specially formulated enamel to
ensure that the resistors can withstand repeated heat cycling
without damage.
Connections between the resistance element and end
terminations are welded; other connections are brazed.
Mounting devices are available which permit resistors to be
mounted by both ends or by one end. Single ended mounting
is recommended for applications which do not subject the
resistor to shock or vibration.
Ferrules and the F type mounting plug are anchored into the
tubes with high temperature adhesive.
Special requirements, for types or styles not described
in this brochure, will be considered for economic
quantities.

Wirewound Resistors
1600/1900 Series
Adjustable Resistors
(see Figure 9)
Adjustable resistors use the same basic construction as fixed
resistors already described, and have a window in the vitreous
enamel through which contact is made to the resistive
element by a sliding contact band. The band is fitted with a
clamping screw and nut to retain it firmly in position.
The adjustable winding style has a maximum permissible hot
spot temperature of 300°C and the maximum dissipation, for
an ambient temperature of 20°C, is specified in Table 4. The
Welwyn Components
partial open winding necessitates a reduced maximum
resistance, when compared with fixed resistors, and the
resistance range is also defined in Table 4.
More than one adjusting band can be fitted, up to the
maximum number specified in Table 3.
Adjustable resistors are available in termination styles B, 4B,
AP, C, CB and CP, in sizes 1602 to 1609 inclusive and 1906
and 1908 denoted by prefix ‘V’.

Wirewound Resistors
1600/1900 Series
Tapped Resistors
See Figure 10
Fixed resistors can be supplied with taps to special order.
Because of the reduced winding length, the total resistance of
a tapped resistor will be less than can be offered on a fixed
resistor of the same size. The reduction is proportional to the
number of taps and Table 5 is intended as a guide.
The minimum resistance per section on all sizes is 1Ω and the
standard selection tolerance for any section is ±10%
Welwyn Components
Ordering Procedure
Enquiries for tapped resistors must state the following details:
Resistance per section
Maximum dissipation per section
Maximum operating ambient temperature
Maximum permissible dimensions if important

*Maximum total dissipation assumes that this will be
evenly spread over the total element length.
Low Inductance Resistors
Ayrton-Perry wound elements are supplied for low inductance
applications. This winding style has a maximum permissible
hot spot temperature of 300°C. The maximum dissipation is
defined in Table 1 under the heading Operating hot spot
temperature of 300°C, and resistance ranges are defined in
the three right-hand columns of this table.
The recommended dissipations for each of the resistor hot
spot temperatures applies to resistors mounted horizontally. If
the bore is completely blocked a 15% derating is
recommended. However, wherever possible, resistors should
be mounted vertically with unobstructed bore.
This makes best use of the chimney effect of the heated tube
and will encourage a cooling stream of air through the bore.
Allowances must be made, when tubular resistors are mounted
in banks, for the effects produced by radiation between tubes.
Appreciable reduction of hot spot temperature can be
achieved by arranging that resistors are subjected to some
measure of forced draught. In general, it is most efficient to
extract air from the resistor enclosure and arrange that an air
inlet is adjacent to the bottom of the tubes.
If soft soldered connections are used the resistors should be derated
where applicable to limit the hot spot temperature to 300°C.
Application Notes
When cold, vitreous enamel has excellent insulation resistance.
In common with all insulants the specific resistance of the
enamel decreases with increased temperature; therefore, if
operated at any temperature approaching the maximum, the
resistor cannot be classed as an insulated type and should not
be used in contact with any conducting materials.
