Re: tiger strip hv resisters

Original poster: Steve Ward <steve.ward@xxxxxxxxx>

You said "15VK"?  Did you mean 15 KV?

Im gonna say its rated 11.25W.  15kv/20megs says the max current
should be .75mA rms.  .75^2*20meg yields 11.25W dissipated.  Sounds OK
for a resistor of that size.  I think often HV resistors are rated for
a certian voltage due to the power they will dissipate, and somewhat
less for actual voltage breakdown.
