ULDCR12 www.vishay.com Vishay Draloric Compact Metal Plate Power Resistor FEATURES • 760 kJ pulse load capability • Typical temperature rise below 300 K for single pulse at specified pulse current • Extremely robust and compact design • Material categorization: for definitions of compliance please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912 APPLICATIONS • Industrial • Alternative energy • Load dump resistor in wind turbines • Discharge resistor for bulk capacitors The ULDCR12 belongs to Vishay’s Ultra Load Dump Crowbar Resistor series. This ruggedized product family is especially designed to absorb and withstand short pulses of enormous loads and is therefore an excellent choice for energy dumping applications in the fields of industry or alternative energy. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DESCRIPTION ULDCR12 Resistance 0.08 Resistance tolerance ± 10 % Temperature coefficient + 1030 ppm/K Pulse energy Ep (1)(2) 760 kJ Pulse current Ip (1)(2) 1260 A Inductance < 10 μH Notes (1) Rectangular pulse t = 6 s, recovery time between 2 pulses t > 45 min at operation in unforced convection at 40 °C ambient temperature. i r (2) Short time overload t = 0.28 s, I = 6100 A, energy E = 840 kJ, temperature rise below 300 K. i p p APPLICATION INFORMATION The impact of the pulse current Ip for the duration ti generates a typical temperature rise against the local ambient temperature in the active material of the resistor. As long as the given pulse energy Ep is not exceeded, the temperature rise stays below 300 K. In case of natural convection at 40 °C ambient temperature the ULDCR12 needs more than 40 min to cool down back to the ambient temperature level. Operation in forced convection shortens the advisable minimum cooling time until the next pulse load. The example of the short time overload proofs the tremendous robustness against current induced forces. The ULDCR12 withstands a pulse current Ip of 6100 A for 0.28 s. The related rise of the temperature do not exceed 300 K. The recovery time prolongs compared to the specified standard conditions. The resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated at the specified parameters. Overheating will not automatically destroy the resistor. Repetitive or permanent exceedance of the load values may cause a change of the crystal structure, the oxidation behavior and the temperature coefficient of the resistive material though.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Two M10 - bolt screws serve as electrical connections. Their dimensions and positions are shown in the corresponding drawing on the next page. The cylindrical, 30 mm high insulators feature a M10 - thread of 9 mm tap depth. The table below contains the relevant electrical and mechanical parameters. The positions of the standoff insulators are shown in the technical drawing on the next page. ASSEMBLY The mounting positions of the resistor are horizontally regular as well as horizontally or vertically hanging. Therefore the ULDCR00 is equipped with six fiberglass reinforced polyester polyglas mass standoff insulators. PACKAGING Each resistor is packed in a cardboard box. Single samples are delivered as individual packets. Bigger lot sizes will additionally be fixed on euro-pallets.
