A power resistor comprises a tubular housing composed of metal and a resistor element received therein, wherein the housing has four side walls that extend along a longitudinal axis of the housing between two ends and define a rectangular cross-section. The housing comprises four edges of the four side walls at at least one of the two ends. Two of the four side walls have a respective incision at their edges for introducing a fastening element and the two other side walls have a respective clearance in alignment with the oppositely disposed incision to facilitate a placement of a tool at a fastening element introduced into the respective incision.

A shunt resistor including a first terminal and a second terminal, each of the first terminal and the second terminal being made of a conductive metallic material and having a first plane, a second plane, and an outer periphery as side faces thereof. The first planes of the first terminal and the second terminal are opposite each other, and a resistive element is connected to the first planes so as to connect the first terminal and the second terminal. The joint area between the resistive element and each first plane is smaller than the area of the first plane. Each of the first terminal and the second terminal has formed therein a hole portion that penetrates therethrough from the first plane to the second plane.

A fluid analyzer having an electrical heater includes an intrinsic safety barrier that provides voltage and current from a power source to an electrical load and includes a voltage limiter and an infallible current limiting resistor for limiting the voltage and current provided to respective intrinsically safe levels, where the voltage limiter is arranged in a flameproof/explosion proof or pressurized/purged enclosure, and the current limiting resistor, e.g., an electrical heater, is connected via a connecting line to the voltage limiter and arranged outside the flameproof/explosion proof or pressurized/purged enclosure in an enclosure configured to provide protection against contact and ingress without being flameproof/explosion proof or pressurized/purged.

A single or multiple cutters are pressed against end surfaces of a resistive element so as to form a plurality of notches in rims of the end surfaces. At this time, notches are formed such that notch depth at the end surfaces of the resistive element toward the axis center is smaller than notch length from the end surfaces of the resistive element to the axis. This allows easy cutting and removal of the resistance wire at the resistive element ends of a coil resistor, etc., and prevention of fraying of a wound wire at the resistive element ends.

Disclosed are a resistor, a heat dissipater and a combinatory device of the resistor and the heat dissipater, and relates to the field of power electronics. The resistor is cylindrical, and comprises a metal end, an insulating part, a casing, metal bars, a resistor wire, thermally conductive insulating fillers and a metal connection mechanism. The metal connection mechanism of the resistor and the heat dissipater are connected by means of direct contact. The structure and the connection method can shorten the length of the resistor, completely insulate the electrical circuits of the resistor from the possible leakage of the water inlet- and outlet-pipe of the heat dissipater, and enable the combinatory device of the resistor and the heat dissipater to be structurally more compact and the connections thereof cleaner.
