Hi.....
I know there has been a lot of discussion in the past on the subject of
what
type of resistor to use across the filter caps. I concluded that the
consensus (remarkable though that may seem) was that some sort of
silicon-coated, 5 watt, wirewound units were the resistor of choice. The
resistance could be in the 50-75k range, assuming the E across each one was
somewhere around 300-400V.
My question is about pricing/sourcing.
I have found some of these units (Vishay/Dale type CW, with 1000V rating)
at
Allied for $.82 each in quantities of 100 or more. Does this sound about
right?
Thanks
