Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods relate to modular resistor grid assemblies having a 'black box' resistance. The modular resistor grid assemblies include a first plurality of first resistor plates having a first thickness disposed within a first housing. The first housing has a first input and output terminal. The first resistor plates provide a target electrical resistance between the first input output terminal. A second plurality of second resistor plates having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness is disposed within a second housing. The second housing has a second input and output terminal. The second resistor plates provide the target electrical resistance between the second input and output terminal. The first and second housing interchangeably couple to a resistive braking system. The first plurality includes a first number of first resistor plates, and the second plurality includes a second number of second resistor plates less than the first number.
