Power Control: Managing high electrical loads and heat dissipation in early power supplies and motor controls
Voltage Division: Stepping down voltages in vintage radio receivers and vacuum tube equipment.
Spark Suppression: Acting as automotive spark suppressors to reduce electrical interference.Adjustable Regulation: Serving as wire-wound variable resistors and rheostats for fine-tuning analog instruments
