Power resistors are manufactured to withstand and dissipate large amounts of power. While they are generally compact in size, all power resistors are designed to dissipate as much energy as possible. They have a power rating of at least 5 W, and they are usually made of materials with a high thermal conductivity to ensure efficient cooling. Moreover, they can be coupled with heat sinks to dissipate tremendous amounts of power. However, some power resistors may need a forced air or liquid cooling mechanism while under maximum load to efficiently remove heat. 

Automatic test equipment (ATE) refers to common data acquisition and diagnostic tools that are used for the testing of numerous electronics. Utilized in industries ranging from aerospace to industrial automation, ATE ensures that electronic equipment functions as intended and is safe to use. As a result of their utilization and the industries that they serve, ATE are crucial for avoiding accidents and danger associated with malfunctioning electronics. To help you better understand the use of such systems, we will discuss their design, construction, and applications.
