I have a unit that has a blown resistor and I am needing help figuring out what the value is. Does anyone know? or maybe have the same unit laying around? here is a picture of the board. this is the top board after taking off the case.
A 1 Watt 10 Ohm resistor just doesn't generally fail (cook itself). The mounting of the resistor shows it was elevated off the board to easily dissapate heat. The fact that it failed is likely a symptom of a failure elsewhere. Unless the cause is found replacing it will likely lead to another failed 10 Ohm 1 Watt resistor.

Ok so the unit is a safety relay that protects people from entering our robot bay when we have active robots. They defect was actually the bridge rectifier that was after the resistor in circuit. And yes it was basically being used as a fuse to the 24 VAC input. Thank you for yalls input it is appreciated!!
Hi Ben, I agree, what I was getting at is there is a symptom and a cau8se and if we just replace resistors that cook, be they used as a fuse device or otherwise they will likely cook again. In this case had the bridge not been replaced another resistor would cook.
