Resistance Wire

Resistance wire is wire intended for making electrical resistors (which are used to control the amount of current in a circuit). It is better if the alloy used has a high resistivity, since a shorter wire can then be used. In many situations, the stability of the resistor is of primary importance, and thus the alloy's temperature coefficient of resistivity and corrosion resistance play a large part in material selection.

Whether you’re a reseller searching for many spools, or a hobbyist requiring only a small amount of resistance wire, Master Wire Supply allows you to purchase from our expansive inventory at very competitive rates.  Master of clouds makes it convenient and easy to order only the amount of wire you need when you are repairing your toaster or creating a DIY foam cutter.

Typical applications for Master Wire Supply wire are electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces for heat treatment, ceramics, glass, steel, and electronics industries. Kanthal is used in toasters, home and industrial heaters, diffusion heaters, dishwashers, cooking plates, electric blankets, hair dryers, kerosene-fired appliances, kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, etc.
