Assuming that the full power discharge time is much shorter than the full power discharge period (which is normally the case) the values for Pr

NOTE
If this is not entered correctly the power dissipated, and therefore the thermal protection model for the resistor will be incorrect. This could lead to the
resistor being operated beyond its thermal limits.
