Re: [TCML] Bleeding resistors for MMC



OK,
with that said, how do these values sound?
P=0.00033333 watts
t=0.15 seconds
I don't know what to look for exactly, do I need more ohms? Less watts? It's a 10M ohm 1/2 Watt resistor. 2Kv 0.15uf caps.

I can't say it enough, THANKS EVERYBODY!

Great! Thanks a lot Jim, Henry, Joh, that really cleared it up.
Now, last thing I'm going to have to bug you guys with. In the formula "P=V^2/R", when you say "V is the voltage across the capacitor (volts.)", do you mean the voltage from the power supply divided by the number of capacitors, or the rated voltage of each capacitor?

The voltage on each capacitor.. that is, power supply voltage divided by # of caps. And it's RMS voltage, not peak.
