Conductive material 11, 12 is applied to a resistor 10 to provide controlled shunting of current from localised regions of the resistor that would otherwise destructively fail during surge. Various embodiments are disclosed having varying resistance, dimension and placement. The continuity of the original resistor material is not altered, nor is the current diverted in such a way as to create new localised regions that might destructively fail. The resistors so designed have application in lightning surge environments, power supply and power input circuitry and other applications where potential short duration surges might otherwise cause destructive failure of standard resistors. <IMAGE> |
