HEINE Resistors is a medium-sized manufacturing company that is rich in tradition and one of the world's leading experts for power resistors. Our company belongs to Microelettrica Scientifica S.p.A., a member of the German Knorr-Bremse Group. HEINE stands for 120 years of German-made innovation and quality. We serve customers worldwide directly and via our international group network and partners. Our main manufacturing facility is located in Dresden, Germany. The subsidiary Microelettrica HEINE (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. China serves mainly local Asian markets for more than 20 years now.
We focus on customised solutions and the precise implementation of your requirements, using aluminium resistors, wirewound resistors, plate resistors, band resistors, load banks and neutral earthing resistors. Therefore, we are using a compact and modular design to be most cost-efficient.
Among other applications our power resistors are widely used in industrial applications such as automation, in the infrastructure sector or in rail vehicle applications. Our resistors are available from 50W to the multiple MW range. For relevant applications, resistors with UL certification are available.
In the automation industry resistors of our following product ranges are mainly used:
- Aluminium Resistors
- Frame Resistors
- Tube Resistors
- Plate / Steel Grid Resistors
Many options like terminals, switching cabinets, thermal switches, heat and touch protection, enclosures and pre-mounted subgroups are available. HEINE offers customised solutions from single projects to high volume series products. We are looking forward to check with you the requirements of your application.
