Quoting Ian White <gm3sek@ifwtech.co.uk>:

If the tube draws more amps ... a short or a bad load... maybe a two
amp spike... that is 120 watts which will hopefully burn out the resistor
( acting like a fuse ) before the transformer or diode stack goes up in >>smoke.


Sorry, NOT correct - two times over.

Ian,
Sorry, NOT correct - recheck your math. Four times over.  Resistor go POOF.
