Vishay AC01-CS, AC03-CS, AC05-CS series resistors

ACxx-CS series wirewound safety resistors are designed to be used as fusible safety resistors (or AC mains input resistors). The resistor fuses “without a bang” when AC mains voltage is applied (1). At the same time, it acts as an in-rush current limiting resistor for normal operation. The specially developed lacquer coating has superior thermal and electrical insulating properties. This allows designers to more easily meet the requirements of safety approval, whilst eliminating the need to put additional fuses in series with the input resistor.
