Hello fellow pigger's,

I am working on the controller for my Pig. It is a 19.9KV 15 KW  unit.

I read once that someone used 3- 2000W oven elements(8.33 ohms) in
parallel for a resistance of 2.78 ohms.

I have several air cooled power resistors ranging from 5kw to 30kw.
I want as much flexability as possible.

Could a few of you guys out there that use big pigs please tell me what
resistances that you have needed to use at various times across your
current control (welder)? And what power levels they would need to
dissapate.

Thankyou in advance,
