Source sentences:
text: Low power resistor have maximum power rating less than 5 watts where as high power resistors are those with maximum power rating higher than 5 watts.
text: Most resistors have their maximum resistive power rating given for an ambient temperature of +70oC or below.
text: Every resistor has a maximum power rating which is determined by its physical size as generally, the greater its surface area the more power it can dissipate safely into the ambient air or into a heatsink.
text: Resistors which exceed their maximum power rating tend to go up in smoke, usually quite quickly, and damage the circuit they are connected to.
text: Resistors which exceed their maximum power rating tend to go up in smoke, usually quite quickly, and damage the circuit they are connected to.
text: If a resistor is to be used near to its maximum power rating then some form of heatsink or cooling is required.
text: The resistor must be selected such that its maximum power rating is not exceeded, however it is generally recommended to leave at least ten percent margin as well.
