Im current converting a ATX power supply to a lab bench power supply so I can get power to my bilge blower motor being used to power the exhaust on the spray booth I'm building. I need to obtain a 15 Ohms 25 Watts Power Resistor to make the power supply feel as if there's a load going to it. Ive been to Radio Shack and different places that sell power resistors but noone has anything that big of wattage. Ive located the Resistor I need on Evilbay but have ran upon another problem Im hoping Grendals or even someone else that may know the answer too.
Ive ran across the 15 Ohms 25 Watts Power Resistor but am seeing that they come in a Green or Yellow Aluminum casing. My question is what is the difference between the two? Is there a difference at all or just a different color of casing on the Resistor ? Ive tried feverishly to research this on google and find nothing about the difference in color casings however can find tons of info on colors of regular resistors. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. Thanks lol.
