Abstract

[Problem] To provide a load resistor: which has arranged therein a plurality of resistant rods that generate heat only to about 100° C. or less due to power supply from an emergency power generator, for example, and that rapidly lose the heat by mere exposure to the air; and which, therefore, does not need a cooling device to be installed for forcibly cooling the resistant rods, or a cooling fan that would be extremely heavy, have a large capacity, and end up accounting for about half of the ;eight and about the lower half of the volume constituting the load resistor. [Solution] The present invention is a load resistor that receives power transmitted from an apparatus and performs an energization test on the apparatus. The load resistor is characterized by comprising a rod-shaped resistive base body that is energized with the power and generates heat, a pipe-shaped protective member through which the rod-shaped resistive base body penetrates, and rod-shaped resistors having an insulation member that are packed in between the rod-shaped resistive base body and the protective member, the rod-shaped resistive base body having used therein a stretched nichrome wire that is wound in the shape of a coil.
