same resistance but which were available with different wattage ratings,
that information somehow being able to be determined from the table.

No... I did not say that I "thought that", I DID say that it *could*
be that way, and that IS how I worded it, dipshit.

Your previous (and following) claim that a trolley car brake comprises
an array of sequentially paralleled fixed resistors may or may not be
true, but that claim certainly doesn't apply to wirewound variable
resistors, where incremental resistances are added IN SERIES to the
previous resistance, one turn at a time, as the wiper traverses the
resistance wire coil.


The similarity is in the contacting method, dipshit.

Constant resistance, variable wattage resistors? Really, the
contacting method is the same as a trolley?

The current in a wirewound varies. The currents in each element of
my array would be equal, and their heat would therefore be equal,
making the cooling cabinet work more efficiently.

You're backtracking DimBulb! Again, you stated they were
constant resistance, variable wattage. ...whatever that means!
You've been caught and called, once again. Squirm some more
DimBulb.

Remember: a 100W lightbulb doesn't put out as much heat as a 100W
heater. Visible light doesn't heat because it's not infrared.
Radio waves don't heat...

Hmmm... perhaps that's unfair; he does seem to have a facility for
label-making.

Only after he was challenged to make a better label (after being
a total twit to someone trying to help, and with a good, if not
perfect idea). I guess he was up to that challenge anyway.

I posted them in alt.binaries.schematics.electronic

Go see for yourself. They were posted days ago, and each Omega
symbol has been replaced with a bit mapped image, as opposed to placed
text, as the rest of the document is.

Pretty simple shit.

Really?

ISTR this all started because you couldn't fathom the meaning of the 'W'
your browser displayed in the table given by ENAPROS at their
brakingresistor.com website. Clearly, to someone of even below average
intelligence, 'W' in that instance meant upper case omega.

You have once again stubbed your toe and blamed the rock for being in

Not at all. In the case of the single wirewound resistor the switching
element is a single contact traversing the length of a (normally) coiled
resistance element. In the parallel array, the switch can be considered
to be a multiplicity of contacts which progressively connect one of the
ends of a multiplicity of fixed resistors together.

"Your" array? hardly.

Watts is watts and besides, none of this has anything to do with the
point, which is that you're trying to squirm out of having posted the
following:

Perhaps because such resistors re always the same value in Ohms, and
the only requisite for a user to select one by is dissipation ability.

Look, dipshit. A small w looks LIKE a lower case omega. An upper

Since the lower case omega is usually taken to mean 2*pi*f (where 'pi'
stands for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter,
(about 3.14, FYI) 'f' stands for frequency in Hertz, and Hertz stands
for cycles per second) it stands to reason that the lower case 'w'
(which you have flawlessly pointed out resembles a lower case omega)
would stand for the lower case omega. Now, since there is an uppercase
omega and also an uppercase 'W' it also stands to reason that the upper
case omega would be represented by the upper case 'W', a correspondence
between the cases you seem unable to grasp. Perhaps a trip to Microsft
Word will convince you. If you click on "insert" and then click on
'symbol' you will be presented with a table of symbols. When the table
appears press 'w' on your keyboard and you will see a lowercase omega
highlighted. Next, hold down the shift key and press 'w' at the same
time (That's how you generate an uppercase 'W'.) and voila! the
highlighted symbol will magically change to an uppecase omega, the
symbol we are so familiar with which bears the name of Georg Simon
Ohmega, the inventor of the resistor.

Relating all this to the table found in the URL L'angel provided us with
would lead a person with a modicum of engineering savvy to realize that
the 'W' in 'Resistance Range (W)' referred to ohms, not watts, since the
leftmost column of the table, labelled 'Watting Rating' most likely
referred to 'wattage' rating and the entries in the 'Standard Type' and
'Non-Inductive Rating" columns make no sense in the context of referring
to a resistance range in watts. It's evident from the general tone of
the document that it wasn't written by someone with English as a first
language, but they didn't do a bad job at all, and the meaning of the
tables, graphs, and text should be clear to anyone capable of looking at
the thing in context.

I see this exposition is finally starting to make sense to you even
