You need to have a resistor to limit peak fault current that does not
explode under fault conditions. . I would use a glass-coated 10-ohm,
10w.unit. A resistor that explodes with a metal-vapour arc does not do
the job. For more than 2800v, I put two in series. Special
energy-absorbing resistors are more durable but the cost is about 10db
more.
