This series is characterised by its combination of light weight, compact dimensions and high energy absorption capacity. It is based on either an aluminium housing (GW series) or on an aluminium profile housing with integrated cooling fins (GWK series). By connecting multiple compact resistors in series, resistor units with higher capacities are possible. Aluminum resistors are used as brake and chopper resistors as well as load and test resistors.
