Abstract

A sulfurization detection resistor includes: a rectangle-shaped insulating substrate; pair of front electrodes formed at both ends facing each other on a surface of the insulating substrate; plurality of sulfurization detection conductors arranged in parallel between the paired front electrodes; plurality of resistors connected between the ends of each of the sulfurization detection conductors and the paired front electrodes; and sulfide gas impermeable protective film that covers all of the resistors and some of the sulfurization detection conductors, wherein each of the sulfurization detection conductors has a sulfurization detection unit exposed from a window hole in the protective film; and by covering the sulfurization detection units with different types of sulfurization rate adjustment layers formed of an acrylic resin, a silicon resin, and the like, timing of disconnection is set so as to vary in response to a cumulative amount of sulfurization in each of the sulfurization detection units.
