Why do you need a colour code for a resistor?
Resistor Colour Code. Resistor Colour Coding uses coloured bands to easily identify a resistors resistive value and its percentage tolerance. There are many different types of Resistor available which can be used in both electrical and electronic circuits to control the flow of current or to produce a voltage drop in many different ways.
Can you make a guess at the burnt resistor value?
In addition to the above, with experience, you can sometimes make a good guess as to the correct value. But that usually involves finding the reason for the component burning in the first place, so you will have made a partial schematic of the failed part of the circuit.
How are resistors used in an electrical circuit?
Resistor Colour Coding uses coloured bands to easily identify a resistors resistive value and its percentage tolerance. There are many different types of Resistor available which can be used in both electrical and electronic circuits to control the flow of current or to produce a voltage drop in many different ways.
What does it mean to have a shorted resistor?
Shorted resistor means the value that you check on the resistor would show ZERO ohm regardless whatever the color code (value) printed on it. If you have come across one, i would like to hear from you-thanks! Likes (2) Dislikes (1) 28 Comments
How to test a blower motor resistor in the garage?
Look for obvious signs of corrosion and burns from overheating. If you want to do a quick test of the blower resistor, you can check the resistance of each of the resistors with a multimeter as follows: set the tool to read ohms (a measurement of resistance) and connect one of its probes to the common output terminal of the resistor.
What to do if your blower resistor Burns?
Look for obvious signs of corrosion and burns from overheating. If you see signs of overheated connectors, replace the blower resistor and its connector, but again, you must splice the wires right, or you’ll have problems at the splice later on.
