Field Diverter Resistors is the combination of RPS (Field Weakening Resistance) & RS (Shunting Resistance) in punched grid design which is used generally in Railway Traction of Electric Locomotives to control speed of the Traction Motors.
The design offers support by mica-insulated tie-rod, separated by steative bush/ insulation. The Grids punched from FeCrAI alloy sheets are assembled on insulated rods to have Ohimic value. |
