FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Burster 1282-0,001 precision measuring resistor
What does 1282-0,001 mean on this Burster resistor?
1282 is the type designation of the Burster high-capacity precision resistor, and the suffix 0,001 states the nominal value in ohms: 0.001 Ω equals the 1 mOhm given in the data. According to the marking, the tolerance is 0.02%. Other resistance values of the same type carry a different suffix, so the full designation should always be checked together with the value.
What is a measuring resistor such as the Burster 1282 used for?
It measures high currents accurately via the voltage drop: by Ohm’s law, a current of 1 A through 1 mOhm produces exactly 1 mV. Such resistors are used in calibration and test equipment, power and battery test benches, and as a reference in current measuring circuits. At such low values, current and sense terminals are normally kept separate so that contact resistance does not distort the result.
How can you tell that a 1282-0,001 needs replacing?
Typical signs are deviations from the nominal value after overload, sustained thermal stress or mechanical damage to the terminals. Tarnished or loose contact surfaces also noticeably distort measurements in the milliohm range. If a comparison measurement shows the 0.02% tolerance is no longer met, replacement is advisable. When fitting, ensure clean contact faces, the specified tightening torque and correct assignment of current and sense terminals.
What does KTB need for an enquiry about the Burster 1282?
Please state the type designation 1282-0,001, the resistance value of 1 mOhm and the 0.02% tolerance exactly as marked on the resistor or its accompanying document, plus any serial number. Give the quantity required; a photo of the marking makes identification easier. KTB article number 1698097 refers directly to this product. Send your enquiry using the form on this page.
Can another precision resistor replace the 1282-0,001?
Measuring resistors from other manufacturers can in principle be considered if nominal value, tolerance, power rating, temperature behaviour and terminal type all match. In precision applications, traceability of the measurement also decides whether a substitute is accepted, so your test equipment manager or maintenance team should check and approve it. The available data name no successor type. KTB sources independently of manufacturers and will agree suitable versions with you.
