Does anyone know where I can get a 40W, 1 kohm power resistor? The original item was a wire wound ceramic tube about 4 inches long. Ideally I am looking for a replacement of the same dimensions to fit in the same enclosure.
It is a field discharge resistor for a DC generator with up to 170V across the field coils. Its part of a 1950s Ward-Leonard drive system I am restoring so I want to keep the same electrical design. The local Maplin store gave me a blank look when I asked !
Thanks, Steve
