Resistance wire is typically used to control the amount of current in a circuit. Since resistance wire has high resistivity, it is better at converting electrical energy into heat. Resistance wire is used in applications like blow dryers and toaster ovens, appliances that require heat, because the wire can carry the electrical energy produced and convert it into heat. Resistance wire can also be found in electronic applications, like electrical circuits. 
Resistance Wire Applications and Industries:
Resistance wire is typically used in appliances like electric ovens, dishwashers, and hair dryers. You can also find resistance wire in heater coil wire, heaters, and other appliances that require heat. Resistance wire can be found in electrical circuits, as it is used to limit the amount of current that flows through the circuit at any given time. Resistance wire is used across various industries, including industrial, commercial, and residential. You can find resistance wire in appliances around your home, as well as in commercial use products. CWI manufactures resistance wire in a variety of alloys, tempers, and tolerances to get you a product that fits your exact specifications. Read on to find out why Central Wire Industries produces superior resistance wire.
