[TCML] Terry Filter for OBIT/ Resistor Ratings

[vatercox@xxxxxxx]

Dear List,
I have an 8kV, 18 mA OBIT for which a Terry Filter is to be 
constructed. Most if not all coilers suggest two 100 watt, 1K resistors 
for the pass resistors in the filter.

Noting that 0.018 Amps x 0.018 Amps x 2000 Ohms = 0.648 Watts, would it 
be feasible to reduce the resistor power rating to say, 10 watts when 
using a transformer as small as this?

Why is the suggested resistor power rating so high?
