HS17BR 1.7 Ohm Ceramic Ballast Resistor
www.Hot-Spark.com/1-HS17BR.htm
(Heavy-Duty Ceramic Resistor for Use with Electronic Ignition or Points)
Reduces Points Pitting and Burning - Extends Points Life
Hot-Spark General-Purpose 1.7 Ohm External Ballast Resistor
Helps Protect Electronic Ignition Modules from Excess Amperage
and High-Voltage Automotive Charging System
Helps extend the life of contact breaker points - reduces pitting and burning of points.
Is used to supplement the ignition coil's primary resistance. Also known as "points savers," ballast resistors have been used for many decades to reduce current to the points or electronic ignition module, extending their lives. Also helps to protect electronic ignition conversion kits from overheating due to excess electrical current. Usually mounted on the firewall or on the ignition coil. Wired between the coil's positive terminal and the condenser or electronic ignition module. Typically reduces charging system current (at 3,000+ RPM) by about 0.5 amps, or from around 14.5 volts to about 13.0 volts (when used in 12-volt automotive ignition systems).
Two-Prong Single-Ballast Resistor
Two 1/4" male spade connectors
Resistance: 1.7 Ohms (40W)
Typically reduces current to coil and points (or electronic ignition module) @ 2,500 RPM by about 1.0 amps or about 2.0 volts
Dimensions: 75mm long X 19mm high X 19mm wide (2.95" long X .75" high X .75" wide)
Weight: 88 grams (3.1 ounces)
Helps to protect aftermarket electronic ignition conversion kits from excess electrical current, including:

Ohmmeter Calibration: When the Ohmmeter’s red and black leads are connected to each other, the reading should be 0.00 or very close to zero. If, though, for example, with both Ohmmeter leads shorted together, the reading is 0.5 Ohms, you’ll need to subtract 0.5 Ohms from the reading you get when measuring the resistance of a ballast resistor. For example, if the ballast resistor's resistance reading is 2.2 Ohms, but when the Ohmmeter leads are shorted together the reading is 0.5 Ohms, then the ballast resistor's resistance is 1.7 Ohms: 2.2 Ohms - 0.5 Ohms = 1.7 Ohms. This calibration procedure applies only to resistance measurements made in the 200 Ohm mode of a digital Ohmmeter. The inherent resistance of the leads is negligible in higher Ohm modes of the Ohmmeter. If you’re using an analog Ohmmeter, touch the leads together while setting the needle on zero before measuring resistance.
Hot-Spark HS17BR ballast resistors are heavy-duty and guaranteed to have approximately 1.7 Ohms resistance. For use with 6-volt and 12-volt automotive ignition systems only.
Please know the resistance needed for your particular application — make sure that this is the correct ballast resistor for your needs before you buy. This is a generic replacement for applications calling for a ballast resistor with 1.0 to 1.7 Ohms resistance.
