About this manual

The PYR 5008 and PYR 7511 resistors are wire‑wound on a ceramic core and coated with high‑temperature silicone for use in voltage balancing or discharge of series‑connected electrolytic capacitors. They are designed to fit capacitor diameters of 50–90 mm and feature stainless‑steel construction with two‑point spot welding.

The handbook lists the available mounting brackets, washers, nuts, and kits, along with part numbers for ordering. Accessories are supplied as steel washers, poly washers, and nylon nuts in both insulated and non‑insulated versions, and can be ordered individually or as complete kits.
