Kilowatts
This attribute is used when an external shunt resistor has been configured. This
attribute value specifies the power that can be delivered to the external shunt
resistor for one second, without exceeding the rated element temperature.
There are approximations to help determine this attribute if this information is
not available from your vendor.
First approximation method, calculate 'Shunt Pulse Power' (Kilowatts) = 75,000 *
lbs, where lbs is the weight of the resistor wire element (not the weight of the
resistor).
Another method is that the thermal time constant = 'Shunt Pulse Power'
(Kilowatts) / 'Shunt Power' (Kilowatts) sometimes referred to as thermal mass.-
the time for the resistor element to reach 63% of rated temperature with applied
rated Kilowatts.
A third method for determining this value: The pulse Kilowatts for 1 second is
twice the watt rating of a 2 second pulse. In other words, the watt*sec rating is a
constant if the pulse duration is short compared to the thermal time constant of
the resistor ad is a function of the element mass.
