Special purpose and industrial resistors cover a wide range of applications, including high-voltage and high energy surges. Large ceramic resistors are the perfect answer for use in circuit breakers. Resistors inserted at high-voltage load points, such as spark plugs, distributor points, or coil leads, will limit spurious high frequency signals from being emitted or carried on transmission lines.

Rods may be used in large high-impulse power circuit breaker resistors, small RFI suppression resistors, and general purpose resistors.
Rings become part of lightning arrestors, small heaters, automotive horn button resistors, thermostat controls, and other resistors where center mounting is required.
Discs are used where solid rings are required.
Sleeves are for applications such as RF coaxial terminating resistors, low temperature heaters, and high power carrying resistors where large surface-to-volume ratios are needed.
