Would anybody have a view on whether a MMC protection spark gap should have a
resistor (around 30 ohms or so) to keep the peak current in the MMC to a within
the pk current capabilites of the caps used. Believe if safety fires
without this
limiting resistor possible to damage caps due too low an impedance discharge.
Tnx for views
