Loading Rheostat 12KW Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-EELE-14514
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Loading Rheostat 12KW (Product ID: 14514) as part of its electronics engineering lab equipment range. It is a heavy-duty variable resistor rated 12 kW, used as an adjustable load for generators, motors, transformers and power supplies.
Quick Answer
A sliding contact moves along a Nichrome or constantan resistance element wound on ceramic or porcelain insulation, so resistance and load current can be varied smoothly. The element sits in a powder-coated steel frame, is cooled by natural air and mounts on a bench or base. Resistance is commonly 0–50 Ω or 0–100 Ω and the operating voltage 230 V or 415 V, depending on design. A 12 kW rating implies a high current through the slider, so please confirm the resistance range, current rating and voltage at quotation.

Where This Is Used
Used in electrical machines labs and ITI workshops to load DC generators and alternators, set field or armature current, and run load tests on motors and transformers. For lower ratings see the Loading Rheostat 10KW (Product ID: 14527) and the Loading Rheostat 6.5KW Bank (Product ID: 14523). The element gets very hot at full load, so allow free air flow and switch off before changing connections.
