The new Avtron dynamic braking resistors, available from Westek Electronics, have been designed for stressful, corrosive atmosphere environments, specifically outdoor and marine applications.

The Avtron resistors feature absorbing capacities of more than 800 kilowatts.

Voltages available range from 690 volts DC to over 1090 volts.

Avtron resistors are most suitable for applications such as land and offshore drilling rigs and for braking duties including hoist motors and drilling rig top drives.

The Avtron dynamic resistors are manufactured using Avtron's unique Helidyne load elements, constructed from fully supported corrosion resistant chromium alloy wire.

The integrally mounted blowers provide cooling in both vertical and horizontal mode.

The Avtron design uses rugged enclosures made of stainless steel construction as the alternative to standard aluminium versions.
