This image shows the mounting of
Four external front resistors (in series) on a small impulse
generator (500kV, 8 kJ). Resistors are mounted on a fiberglass
channel supported at the left end of the generator and at the right
end on the load capacitor.
Four resistors in series can be
mounted with two in parallel. A shorting bar with the slots on
either end could be inserted instead of a resistor. (Same slots as
on the
resistor) | |

The two images
above and the one on the left shows the mounting
of front and tail resistors on a large impulse
generator (3.2 MV, 400 kJ) utilizing our spring
loaded connectors. Here two resistors can be
placed in parallel (for the vertical tail resistors)
and two in series & three in parallel (for
the horizontal front resistors.)

This image shows the flat
slotted terminal on a 225 kV, 20 Ohm, 20 kJ @ 1 shot/min
resistor.
This slotted terminal engages in the spring
loaded terminal. Time to remove and replace a resistor is just
seconds, unclip and clip the new on in......!
