Non-linear resistors are those types of resistors where the electric current flowing through it changes with the exchange in applied voltage or temperature and does not change according to Ohm’s law.These serve as over-voltage protection for the devices.
Positive temperature coefficient, or PTC, describes how, in such devices, resistance rises as temperature rises. These shield the electronics from excessive current.When you say something is non-linear, you’re saying it doesn’t develop or progress logically from one stage to the next.
Instead, it alters abruptly or appears to move in multiple directions at once.Transistors, various semiconductor devices, vacuum tubes, iron core inductors, and transformers are examples of nonlinear elements.
Properties of Non-Linear Resistors:A non-linear resistor in general has a V-I characteristic which is not symmetric about the origin of the V-I plane.Non-linear resistor can produce harmonics in a circuit.In general, the non-linear resistors hold neither homogeneity property nor additive property.
Global non-linear resistors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
METROSIL INTRODUCES NEW RANGE OF DE-EXCITATION NON-LINEAR RESISTORS.The “Metrosil 8000 Series” of De-Excitation Units, which are intended to safeguard large electrical generators, has just been launched, according to the market leader in silicon carbide non-linear resistors (also known as varistors).
The revolutionary 8000 Series (protected by Registered Design) was built around a better ergonomic structure, a first for the industry, which not only protects the varistor discs but also makes unit installation easier.
Every 8000 Series unit comes with a high energy test certificate, which serves as documentation that the varistors function as required. This is another distinctive feature.
De-Excitation varistors shield electricity-generating machinery (such as in nuclear and hydroelectric installations) from the harm caused by strong high energy surges.
Today, the industry pioneer in silicon carbide non-linear resistors (also known as varistors).Another unique feature is the inclusion of a high energy test certificate with every 8000 Series unit, providing proof that the varistors perform as required.
De-Excitation varistors protect electricity generating equipment (for example in hydropower and nuclear installations) from the damaging effects of powerful high energy surges.
One recent trend in the non-linear resistor market is the advent of nanotechnology. With its ability to produce extremely small devices, nanotechnology has allowed for the creation of nanoscale (very small) non-linear resistors.
These components are highly efficient and have significantly lower power consumption than their linear counterparts. In addition, the nanoscale resistors provide greater design flexibility as they have much smaller physical footprints.
Another trend in the non-linear resistor market is the emergence of smart materials. Smart materials are able to adjust their resistance automatically depending on changes in environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity.
This is possible because of the incorporation of semiconductors. This is a particularly attractive feature for engineers as it eliminates the need for manual adjustment and allows for the creation of self-adjusting systems.
The integration of digital technology has also become a popular trend in the non-linear resistor market in recent years.
Digital technology enables the integration of advanced control systems into non-linear resistor designs. A typical application of this technology is in the form of digital potentiometers which allow for the adjustment of the resistance value through a remote control. This can provide precision control, improved performance and more efficient operations.
Furthermore, there have been advances in the field of sensing and self-actuation. The integration of sensors into non-linear resistors has become increasingly popular, enabling the collection of various parameters such as temperature or current.
This information can be used to control the performance and operation of the entire system. Self-actuation further improves the technology, allowing for the automatic adjustment of parameters in order to optimize system performance.
Finally, as renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric become increasingly popular sources of energy generation, highly efficient non-linear resistors are needed to control the energy flow to and from these systems.
