“CS” Type 1 Collars
The RWST vitreous wirewound high power resistors are known for their excellent reliability which has developed out of the
Vishay Sfernice experience over several decades in the field of high current applications.
Extremely severe conditions of use are encountered in electrical traction including repeated overloads. To withstand such
conditions the new RWST model is extremely rugged and is manufactured to a very carefully monitored process using the best
materials.
NF F 16101, 10/1988 and 16102, 04/1992: Not applicable (our parts are made of metallic and refractory materials).
NF C 93-214. Performances according to NF C 93-214.
