Due to the high voltage which can appear between the end cap and any adjacent metal part, resistors should be mounted at an adequate distance from other conductors.

An appropriate number of resistors may be screwed together as a stick to provide an assembly which will be capable to withstanding any desired voltage, providing no individual resistor is subject to a greater stress or power dissipation than is recommended in this data sheet, and that appropriate anticorona devices are fitted.

The axial termination should not be bent closer than twice the diameter of the terminal wire from the body of the resistor.

When resistors are required to be potted, the preferred encapsulant is a silicone compound.

For voltage dividers with a low resistance section below the minimum available value of 1k, it is normal practice to use a Welwyn resistor, RC Series, obtainable down to 1 ohm.
