heatsink-slide5

For the second example an Ohmite TAP600 resistor will be used. The values for this resistor series used in the equation are specified as follows: maximum case temperature of 85°C, ambient temperature of 25ºC, and power dissipation of 600 watts. A large heatsink would be required for this amount of power dissipation. Therefore, a cold plate is recommended to lower the size of the heatsink.
