* Question
| What is the difference between nominal power and power consumption? |
* Answer
| Nominal power and power consumption are two different concepts.Power consumption is the amount of power that allows the generation of thermal power while the Resistors is operating.For example, to apply a 10V DC voltage to a 10Q, 15W Resistors, the current flowing through it is 1A, and the generated thermal power is 10W.Therefore, within the nominal power of the Resistors, the greater the current flowing, the greater the power consumption; the smaller the current flowing, the smaller the power consumption.If the current flowing through the Resistors produces a thermal power greater than its nominal power, the Resistors must be burned. |
