Information

The resistor can prematurely fail due to excessive voltage strain.

  • Select a resistor with a larger working voltage. For the integrated power limit over line circuit use two ¼ W resistors with a combined working voltage of approximately 375 VDC for a universal input design or a single ½ W resistor.

  • Check the manufacturer’s datasheet for the rated working voltage of the resistors used.
