Transformers / Power Resistors
- OPTIMUM VOLTAGE
Ruhstrat has decades of experience in developing and manufacturing
electrical winding products. We offer more than innovative technology. Being
a reliable partner we assist our customers by developing optimal solutions
customized to their needs.
While carrying out the development, the design, the delivery and the
creation of solutions is an important part of our business, another
important part is the performance of a service comprising all expected
tasks, from the maintenance to the support.
Ruhstrat has been specialized in developing and designing transformers,
reactors, power supplies and power resistors. Besides the complete standard
programme of these business fields Ruhstrat emphasizes the design and
manufacturing of plants and systems individually tailored to the
requirements of our customers. We manufacture custom-made transformers,
reactors, power supplies and power resistors. Ruhstrat components are used
wherever products made to specification and small and minimum batch sizes
are needed, so for uses which cannot be provided with bulk goods. Variable Transformers

Power Resistors
- For more than 100 years Ruhstrat power resistors have
been used all around the world in many electrotechnical fields. Our concept
is to offer complete solutions and to be a reliable partner for our
customers. We develop and manufacture power resistors for a large variety of
different technical applications, in a power range from 10W up to several
5.000 kW.
Ruhstrat is not only characterized by a broad application programme but most
notably by the know-how concerning project planning of various resistor
plants. According to the requirements and specifications of the respective
project we dimension and manufacture the desired resistor plant.
rated power 50 W up to 5.000 kW Load Resistors
- Whether they are needed for test purposes and for proving
batteries, transformers, generators, power generation aggregates and power
supply units or as load bank for your test field – Ruhstrat offers you an
economic solution for each kind of application. Power values of several MW
under permanent operation as well as special constructions can be
implemented. The devices which are in most of the cases customized products
can be equipped with any kind of step control, regulation, measurement and
control unit.
Test Resistors
- Whether you need a proof of functioning for generators or
a load bank for your test field, we offer you an economic solution for each
kind of application. Power values of several MW under permanent operation as
well as special constructions can be implemented. In case of test field
application the operation surface of the resistor enclosure is made with
screenprint, if desired, for easier and clearer usability.
Laboratory Resistors
- Ruhstrat laboratory resistors have been developed
specially for schools, colleges, institutes and universities. Whether they
are needed as fixed resistors, slide resistors or variable resistors - all
laboratory resistors are completely equipped with bottom plate and rubber
feet, shock-proof Ruhstrat binding posts and earthing terminal as well as
with a protective cover.
Steel Grid Resistors
- Ruhstrat resistor elements are available with resistances
ranging from 8.8 mOhm to 6.2 Ohm.
The continuous output of these grids is approximately 500
W.
The plates may be switched in series and parallel. As a result, every
conceivable resistance value can be realised quickly and easily. You may
choose between standard stainless steel resistor elements or our special
alloyed version.
Tube Resistors
- High-quality ceramic tubes, perfect windings are the
basis of the high quality of our tube resistance and allow for long life and
high reliability. By a layer of a special cementing the windings are
mechanically fixed and protected against external influences, which removes
the heat dissipation is improved.
Wirewound Resistors
- For the winding of the resistors round resistor wire or
band made of Isotan CuNi44 is used, with a very small thermal coefficient of
resistance. Our resistor elements are outstandingly suitable, specially for
applications which demand a high resistance accuracy over a broad
temperature range. Thanks to the high resistance accuracy there are no
tolerances with the resistance values. The resistor elements serve for the
assembly of big load resistors. Thanks to their space-saving construction,
their flat design and their modular system they are all-purpose resistor
elements.
Variable Toroidal Resistor (Potentiometer)
- Stepless adjustable, these rheostats offer flexibility in
the smallest place. Operation can manual or motor driven, but in either case
Ruhstrat can supply modules to meet your individual requirements with drives
and limit switches. All rheostats are fitted with 3 terminals and insulated
axis. Therefore, they can be used as voltage divider and also as
compensating resistance. Silver contacts are used for making contact. He
windings are mechanically fixed and protected against influence from outside
by a layer made of special cementation so that the dissipation of heat is
improved.
Braking Resistors
- Ruhstrat braking resistors can take short-time loads as
well as the desired permanent power (e. g. braking resistors for frequency
converter drives). For smaller drives resistor elements are very frequently
used and for bigger drives steel grid resistors are used.
Damping Resistors
- Ruhstrat damping resistors are integral parts of inrush
current damping units. Especially with the manufacture of transformers
damping resistors are used for limiting the inrush current. With Ruhstrat
inrush current damping units inrush currents are limited to the 3.5-fold
rated current.
Starting Resistors
- Whether you need a proof of functioning for generators or
a load bank for your test field, we offer you an economic solution for each
kind of application. Power values of several MW under permanent operation as
well as special constructions can be implemented. In case of test field
application the operation surface of the resistor enclosure is made with
screenprint, if desired, for easier and clearer usability.
Discharge Resistors
- By means of Ruhstrat discharge resistors inductive and
capacitive components resp. batteries are discharged. With batteries they
are used to ascertain which is the remaining capacity of an accumulator
battery which had been fully charged before. Whether you need the discharge
resistor for insertion into substations or as mobile device, with natural
air cooling or with forced air ventilation, Ruhstrat has the ideal solution
for each kind of application.
Grounding Resistors
- In medium-voltage mains with neutral earthing with low
resistance our grounding resistors limit a coming up earth fault current to
an admissible maximum value until the respective protective relays have
switched off the faulty circuit. Ruhstrat grounding resistors are completely
delivered according to the customer´s requirements, with a current
transformer, no-load switch or load switch etc.
