Token (DRE) Round Edgewound Resistor is a versatile, heavy-duty unit with lightweight construction, consisting of a non-corrodible, high quality stainless steel alloy. This tough resistor is appropriate for the following applications: VFD braking, motor control, load banks and neutral grounding applications.
(DRE) resistor includes through-rods, through-bars, fixed terminals, hardware and stainless steel element. It is supported by a mounting bar which is slotted at both end. Fixed terminations are made by welding stainless steel tabs to either end of the element, or at various points for multiple connections. The ribbon-like element is coiled on edge in the form of a helix, and then spun onto a porcelain core which a threaded rod passing through the center of the ceramic core.
Token (DRE) series is also available in many mounting configurations such as stud mount version, universal edgewound, mounting bracket options of Vishay, or Ohmite. Many standard hardware options allow resistors to be purchased fully assembled, allowing easy integration into the final assembly. Assemblies are wired in parallel or in series to meet the needs of the application. Terminal blocks and thermal switches are also available.
Value-add wiring and connectors allow for a "plug-and-play" solution that easily integrates into the final assembly. Custom resistors are designed to order by our engineers and can be customized to fit unique electrical and mechanical constraints.

Round Edgewound Standard Dimensions ((DRE-P))
High power (DRE) series edge power resistors are constructed by coiling a resistance-alloy ribbon wire and winding it on edge over specially designed ceramic insulators. The porcelain insulators separate coils of the resistance elements from each other and the frame. The advantage is an open coil construction is to easily accommodate surges and overloads that allows efficient heat dissipation .
Round Edgewound Construction:
- Insulators provide insulation from threaded stud mount and proper turn-to-turn spacing.
- A sturdy welded steel frame supports the refractory insulators and finished with a zinc chromate conversion for corrosion resistance.
- The resistance element is a stainless steel strip with negligible temperature coefficient and anti-corrosion features,
used for its current carrying capacity vs Ohms per length. - The resistance element is designed by edgewinding a stainless strip into a continuous coil of the proper scaling length.
- Zinc plated terminals are welded to the resistive wire for a reliable electrical connection.
- •The continuous current ratings are based on a 375°C temperature rise.
- •The resistance values are measured at 25°C and have a ±10% tolerance.
