Cressall Resistors Ltd - Dynamic Brake Resistors

We manufacture and design dynamic brake resistors made for any application. Our dynamic brake resistors have ratings from just a few watts to megawatts and with any duty cycle.

Our dynamic brake resistors are suitable for any power rating and duty cycle as well as any model or drive and can be custom built to your specifications.

They are compact and economical and can have enclosed, open banks, or loose coils.

We offer industrial power resistors and have almost 100 years of knowledge and experience in the design and manufacture of electrical resistors.

Our industrial power resistors are used in power generation, high voltage and medium voltage power distribution as well as marine and offshore electrical systems, drives and controls for cranes.

We design and make neutral earthing resistors for voltages up to 132kV and for any current and time rating.

Neutral earthing resistors are an important component of earth fault protection schemes in medium voltage electricity generation systems.

We have an extensive range of neutral earthing resistor elements to allow you to have the most cost-effective solution. We can manufacture these for any voltage or current and a variety of rated times.

We are able to design and manufacture motor control resistors for many different types of uses. The different uses for our motor control resistors includes crane control systems, DC motor starters, wound-rotor AC motors with slip ring starters and wauchope and closed-transition starters.

We can offer you a complete selection of motor control resistors used for braking, starting and speed control.

Our traction resistors have been used in many types of applications in the transport industry. Our customers want ever higher braking powers to be dissipated from our resistors. These traction resistors have to be more and more compact, lightweight and maintenance free to be in-line with their locomotives.

To design and build our traction resistors, we use sophisticated 3D modelling and thermal simulation to optimize our designs.

We manufacture renewable energy resistors that are increasingly more important in the sustainable, low carbon power generation industry.

We have invested in design and manufacture of renewable energy resistors for the testing, generation and control of this renewable energy.

We can provide practical solutions to the power generation industries and this is apparent in our range of renewable energy resistors.
