Bleeder resistor for Maxwell cap?
Original poster: "Bill Vanyo by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>" <vanyo-at-echoes-dot-net>
So I went and bought a Maxwell cap on eBay - 30kV, 0.06uF. It'll be an
LTR cap for three 15/60 NST's (maybe a fourth 15/60 or a 15/30 thrown
on).
I was going to build an MMC, but I figured this would get me up and
running with my first coil quicker - no soldering all those caps and
resistors, etc. If it blows, it blows, and I'll build an MMC.
Now, can I put a bleeder resistor across this as a safety precaution?
(I'd still discharge to ground after use.) What type? Preferably
something readily available from a supplier on the web.
Thanks again,
Bill Vanyo
