 Hi all,
        I'm in the process of building my NST protection for a 15kv/30ma 
setup.
 I have 2 safety gaps + 2  500pf 30kv caps to ground. I am wondering as to 
what
 rating to go for in the way of resistors. I have seen a few different setups 
on
 some of your web sites but most are for larger NST's. Should I go for
 1.5k/100watt, one on each HV side?
 1k/50watt,two on each side?
 5k/50watt,two on each side?
 And could someone please explain what is the correct way to work out the 
right
 resistors for a particular power supply.
                  thanks in advance,
                                               Arthur.

Arthur,

I use 3,000 ohm, 25 watt resistors on my 12 kv 60 ma coil.  Secondary is 3.0" 
diameter. Makes 26" sparks.
