About Post Glover Resistors
About Post Glover Resistors
Post Glover traces its history to 1892, when the Post Glover Electric Company was incorporated in Cincinnati, Ohio to manufacture electrical and railway supplies. The company began manufacturing steel grids in 1917 and gradually built a reputation as a specialist in power resistor technology for electrical grounding and braking applications.
Post Glover became Rockwell's original Encompass Partner for dynamic braking resistors in 1996 and expanded its reach through a series of acquisitions, including the Cutler-Hammer resistor product line in 2000 and a merger with IPC Resistors in 2005 that created what the company describes as the world leader in power resistors. Its product range now spans neutral grounding resistors, dynamic braking resistors, and resistors for transit and industrial drive applications.
Headquartered in Erlanger, Kentucky, Post Glover continues to serve utility, industrial, and transit customers with resistor technology built on more than a century of manufacturing experience. ChatMRO indexes the Post Glover catalog so buyers can search by resistance value, voltage class, or application to find matching parts.
