As a plant manager one problem I often encounter is replacing damaged power resistors. Often, the original supplier no longer exists in the UK market, or has a presence but doesn't supply resistors any longer. I've had this problem on crane controls, as well as pumps, fans and compressors - what's the solution? Should I replace the control system or is there an alternative supplier that can supply identical repalcements for the old parts?
