The advantages of non-inductive bulk ceramic resistors
Bulk ceramic resistors from Kanthal Globar are superior to non-inductive wire wound, film and
composition resistors for your demanding design situations involving high voltage, current or
energy. Features include:
High reliability; no film or wire to fail
Able to withstand short-time overloads and high peak power
Chemically inert and thermally stable
Available in flexible geometries and a wide range of sizes - from 1/2 watt to a 1,000 watts in a single component
High power and energy dissipation in space saving designs
Simple construction allows for uniform energy absorption throughout the resistor body, enabling a highly reliable resistive characteristic

A full line to meet your needs. Whether your problem involves RF dummy loads, high energy pulse work, circuit protection or other high stress applications, Kanthal Globar has a cost-effective solution to meet your needs. Our full product line consists of three basic bulk ceramic materials.
Type AS
Able to absorb large amounts of energy at high voltage while remaining non-inductive. Ideal for:
Capacitor crowbar circuits
Impulse voltage generators
Pulse-forming networks
High voltage snubber circuits
Type SP
Provide great non-inductive power handling capacity - at frequencies into the GHz range. The unrivaled in
applications such as:
High power/frequency loads
Current limiting
Current sensing
Parasitic suppression
Snubber circuits
Type A
Non-inductive capability, power dissipation and energy absorption at high voltage when high
resistance is required. Applications include:
