Dummy Resistor

Dummy resistors, also known as dummy loads or dummy loads resistors, are passive electronic components that are used to simulate the behavior of a real resistor in a circuit. They are typically used in testing and calibration applications, where a specific resistance value needs to be simulated.

In the context of the supply class Resistor in the supply group Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components, dummy resistors are specifically designed to be used in electrical and electronic equipment. They are often used in power supplies, amplifiers, and other electronic devices to provide a stable load and dissipate excess power.

Dummy resistors are typically made of high-quality materials that can handle high power dissipation and have low temperature coefficients. They are available in various resistance values and power ratings to suit different applications.

When connected to a circuit, dummy resistors behave like regular resistors, dissipating power in the form of heat. This helps to ensure that the circuit operates within its specified parameters and prevents damage to other components.

Overall, dummy resistors play a crucial role in testing, calibration, and ensuring the proper functioning of electrical and electronic equipment.
