The Type 1432-L is a decade resistance box comprised of four Type [[510]] decade resistance units in series, for a total resistance of 111,100 Ω. | The Type 1432-L is a decade resistance box comprised of four Type [[510]] decade resistance units in series, for a total resistance of 111,100 Ω in steps of 10 Ω. | ||
The [[510]] decade units use an 11-position switch, with the first position shorting the decade, and the following positions increasing the resistance by one step. | The [[510]] decade units use an 11-position switch, with the first position shorting the decade, and the following positions increasing the resistance by one step. | ||
The switch has a make-before-break configuration, i.e. regardless of the position there is always continuity between the terminals. | The switch has a make-before-break configuration, i.e. regardless of the position there is always continuity between the terminals. |
