RHEOSTAT (P/N 56827-2) - As Removed

The 56827-2 is a wire-wound variable resistor that manually controls circuit resistance in aircraft electrical systems. This rheostat dims instrument and panel lighting by adjusting voltage to cockpit lights through rotary control. The component features a resistive element wound on a ceramic or phenolic core with a sliding contact mechanism for smooth adjustment.

Installation requires wiring per aircraft maintenance manual specifications and verification of load compatibility before operational testing. Confirm smooth rotation and proper lighting response before returning to service.
