OVERLOADS
In any case the applied voltage must be lower than the
maximum overload voltage of 375 V (560 V for LTO 100).
The values indicated on the graph below are applicable to
resistors in air or mounted onto a heatsink.
ENERGY CURVE
POWER RATING
The temperature of the case should be maintained within the
limits specified.
To improve the thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact
should be coated with a silicone grease and the torque
applied on the screw for tightening should be around 1 Nm.
CHOICE OF THE HEATSINK
The user must choose according to the working conditions of the component (power, room temperature).
Maximum working temperature must not exceed 150 °C. The dissipated power is simply calculated by the following ratio:
P: Expressed in W
ΔT: Difference between maximum working temperature and room temperature
RTH (j - c): Thermal resistance value measured between resistive layer and outer side of the resistor. It is the thermal
resistance of the component.
RTH (c - a): Thermal resistance value measured between outer side of the resistor and room temperature. It is the thermal
resistance of the heatsink itself (type, shape) and the quality of the fastening device, and the thermal resistance
of the thermal compound.
Example:
RTH (c - a) for LTO 30 power rating 10 W at ambient temperature + 25 °C
Thermal resistance RTH (j - c): 4.2 °C/W
Considering equation (1) we have:
ΔT = 150 °C - 25 °C = 125 °C
RTH (j - c) + RTH (c - a) = = = 12.5 °C/W
RTH (c - a) = 12.5 °C/W - 4.2 °C/W = 8.3 °C/W
with a thermal grease RTH (c - h) = 1 °C/W, we need a heatsink with RTH (h - a) = 7.3 °C/W.
