How many ohms does the resistor have?

Hello dear electricians,

The resistor in question belongs to a power supply and is unfortunately burned out.

I simply calculated the value using an online calculator and came up with 20.8 ohms with a tolerance of 0.5%. My question is: Is this value correct? What value did you arrive at?
Since a resistance of 20.8 ohms is very rare (if not impossible) to find, would a 22 ohm resistor also fit?

Next question: What is the power of the resistor? Its diameter is approximately 4mm and its length is about 11mm. Is that 1W?

Thanks in advance!

The 20,8 ohms vote. The low tolerance has been installed here, but hardly necessary. I’ve already repaired more often PC switchgear parts, and the resistances I built in were 5% or 10% tolerance.

The performance will probably be significantly below 1W.

Do you know what the resistance is? If you simply install a new one, it won’t get better unless the cause is eliminated.

Can’t happen either. PC power supplies turn off at overload.

It may also be that the HF transformer makes short circuit. Then the FI flies.

Well, on the primary side, the power supply connects somewhere with its housing, so current flows through the protective conductor and thus automatically on the blue and the brown wire unequally large currents, which allows the FI to fly.

This has a reason why he’s burned. This is certainly not the cause, but the result of a preceding error. It is absolutely rare that only one resistance is simply broken. It will be connected more than sacrificial resistance and protection against further destruction.

That’s the right statement: you know why… and then the word “probably”. Great. There speaks the expert who judges the performance with the deed (this is truly unique new here)!

This resistance is a metal-film-low-ohm power resistance – or also called “safety resistance”. It’s just gonna get out when something’s broken in the back. Too much power was certainly not because the power supply control would have already locked. Behind it, I think a semiconductor stretched the wings. But you can build up a new resistance… but then you’ll find that he’s using again. Why? Because there’s too much power on the back. You can also bridge him: That would be like the troubleshooting via copper nail on the tractor… where it smokes, something is going!

Just as senseless as changing a fuse if you don’t know the triggering reason: The things are neither for fun in it nor are they going to be fun!

I would also say that 1W is loose enough.

Good. It doesn’t matter in tolerance. It’s just a power supply.

I can’t exactly recognize the W. Just look here: http://www.elektronik-kompendium.de/sites/bau/1109051.htm
