FAQs of Resistance Box, Plug Type:

Q: How do I select a resistance value on this resistance box?

A: To select a resistance, simply insert the brass plugs into the holes corresponding to your desired value on each of the four or more decades, combining them for precise settings. The total resistance is the sum of all inserted steps.

Q: What benefits does a plug type resistance box offer over dial or digital types?

A: Plug type resistance boxes offer excellent durability, simplicity, and reliability, with minimal moving parts. They provide highly accurate resistance selection without requiring power or electronic displays, making them ideal for manual calibration and fieldwork.

Q: Where is this resistance box commonly used?

A: These boxes are widely used in educational institutes, calibration laboratories, manufacturing quality control, and wherever precise variable resistance is required for DC and low frequency circuits.

Q: What is the typical measurement range and how accurate are the values?

A: Typical models provide resistance values from 1 up to 10,000 , with a standard accuracy of 0.1%. Some variations may offer slightly different ranges or tolerances.

Q: How should I maintain or store the resistance box for optimal performance?

A: Keep the resistance box in a dry, dust-free environment between 0C and 40C. Regularly check contacts for oxidation and ensure plugs are inserted fully to maintain low contact resistance and stable measurements.

Q: Can this resistance box handle both high and low voltage measurements?

A: The device is rated for resistance selection only at voltages up to 250V. Its designed for safe use at these voltages in DC and low frequency applications; avoid using it beyond specified ratings to maintain safety and accuracy.
