The RXLG Series Aluminum Housed Wirewound Braking Resistor is a high-performance industrial dynamic braking resistor engineered and manufactured by RST Electric, a professional resistor supplier with over 10 years of dedicated R&D and production experience.Aluminum Housing Resistor is specially developed to solve the common defects of traditional open wire resistors and ceramic tubular resistors, such as frequent overheating, weak vibration resistance and short service life under continuous dynamic braking conditions.
Adopting an integrated extruded aluminum alloy shell as an all-in-one heat sink and a high-temperature ceramic core wrapped with high-stability alloy resistance wire, the RXLG braking resistor features a compact structure, excellent heat dissipation performance and strong anti-shock capability.
Its power range covers 60W to 2000W, with resistance values from 0.1Ω to 10KΩ. It supports two resistance tolerances (±1% / ±5%) and multiple temperature coefficient options. Three ingress protection grades (standard IP20, optional IP54 & IP65) are available to adapt to diverse working environments.
All products comply with CE and RoHS international certification standards. Widely matched with variable frequency drives (VFD), servo motors, elevators, cranes, UPS power supplies, welding equipment and renewable energy power generation systems, RXLG series resistors are ideal for dynamic braking, regenerative energy dissipation and load testing. We support full OEM & ODM customization on power, resistance, terminal type and installation dimensions, serving global automation equipment suppliers and system integrators.

Grooved Extruded Aluminum House, Compared with flat aluminum casings, the grooved design expands the heat exchange area by 42%. It realizes passive natural heat dissipation without auxiliary cooling fans, effectively reducing internal hot spots and avoiding local overheating during long-time continuous operation.
1. Ceramic Core Winding Structure. The high-temperature inorganic ceramic core firmly fixes the alloy resistance wire. Even under long-term equipment vibration, the resistance wire will not shift or loosen, keeping resistance deviation within the standard tolerance range and ensuring stable electrical performance.
2. Pre-punched Mounting Base. Pre-reserved standard mounting holes on the bottom shell enable quick installation on equipment cabinets. Close contact installation improves heat conduction efficiency by more than 30%, maximizing the heat dissipation advantage of the aluminum shell.
3. Multiple Optional Terminals. Three terminal types (screw terminal, flying lead, custom connector) are provided to match the wiring habits of different automation integrators and equipment manufacturers, improving on-site wiring efficiency.

Diversified Application Scenarios & Working Principles
Aluminum Housing Resistors are widely used in industrial automation, power electronics, lifting machinery, new energy and other fields. The core function is dynamic braking and regenerative energy dissipation.
1. Daily Spot Check, Check if the shell is discolored and if the terminals have abnormal odor when the equipment starts up. Stop use immediately if the resistor overheats abnormally.
2. Monthly Routine Maintenance, Clean dust and oil dirt in the aluminum heat dissipation grooves. Dust accumulation is the main cause of resistor overheating failure.
3. Quarterly Deep Maintenance, Cut off the power supply, tighten terminal screws, and use a multimeter to test the actual resistance value. Replace the resistor in time if the resistance exceeds the tolerance range.
4. Long-term Idle Storage Maintenance, Store products in a dry and ventilated warehouse. Power on and run for 30 minutes every 3 months to remove internal moisture and prevent insulation performance degradation.
Real Project Cases with Quantified Data
We select 4 typical global customer cases with real pain points, solutions and measurable improvement data to show product performance in actual working conditions.
Case 1: European Elevator OEM Factory (Spain)
● Customer Pain Point: The original tubular braking resistors overheated frequently, requiring maintenance 3~5 times per month, resulting in high after-sales service costs.
● Operation Data: The resistors have run continuously for 27 months with zero overheating failures. Monthly maintenance costs are reduced by 83%, and cabinet space is saved by nearly 35%.
Case 2: Southeast Asian Crane Manufacturer (Vietnam)
● Customer Pain Point: The workshop is in a coastal area with high humidity and strong vibration. Ordinary resistors often suffer short-circuit failures in rainy seasons every year.
● Operation Data: After 22 months of continuous operation in the damp workshop, no water inflow or short-circuit damage occurred. Equipment downtime caused by resistor faults is reduced from 12 days per year to less than 2 days per year.
Case 3: Off-grid Solar System Integrator (Australia)
● Customer Pain Point: Traditional load resistors cannot adapt to outdoor large temperature differences, aging quickly and losing the dump load function, leading to battery overcharge.
● Adopted Solution: Customized RXLG 500W IP65 fully waterproof resistor as solar redundant power dump load.
● Operation Data: Stable outdoor operation for 19 months. The number of battery overcharge faults is reduced by 90%.
Case 4: Domestic CNC Automation Plant
● Customer Pain Point: Frequent emergency stops of servo motors lead to rapid aging of ordinary resistors, which need to be replaced every 3~6 months.
● Operation Data: The resistors bear thousands of braking actions every day, and the service life of a single set is extended to more than 2 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can the standard IP20 resistor be used in outdoor open environments?
A: No. IP20 grade only prevents large solid debris and has no waterproof and moisture-proof capability. For outdoor, damp or splash-prone environments, please choose customized IP54 or IP65 sealed resistors to avoid internal short circuit caused by water vapor.
Q2: What causes the resistor to overheat quickly after short-time operation?
A: There are four main reasons:
① The surrounding space is blocked, resulting in poor heat dissipation;
② Dust accumulates and clogs the aluminum heat dissipation grooves;
③ The actual instantaneous braking power exceeds the rated power of the resistor;
④ Loose terminals cause excessive contact resistance.
Q3: Can resistors be connected in series or parallel to combine power and resistance?
A: Yes. Series and parallel connection are supported. Our professional technical team can provide targeted series-parallel wiring solutions according to your required power and resistance parameters to realize combined high-power load.
Q4: What is your warranty policy?
A: We provide 12-month global warranty under correct installation and normal operating conditions. Meanwhile, we offer lifelong free technical guidance for parameter selection, installation and fault elimination.
Q5: Do you support customized parameters and appearances?
A: Definitely. We can customize rated power, resistance value, tolerance, IP grade, terminal type, mounting size and shell color according to drawings or requirements. OEM and ODM services are fully available.
Q6: What is the operating temperature range of this resistor?
A: The normal operating ambient temperature ranges from -55℃ to +200℃, adapting to high-temperature workshops and low-temperature outdoor environments in different regions.
