I have a 3KV, 2A CCS transformer, and 32uf of filter. What's the current 
state of argument for appropriate bleeder current? The last time this 
came up I seem to remember seeing everything from "HV safety bleed off 
only" up to a rather high number.

So... 100 ohms per DC volt? That would work out to a convenient 400K, 
which could be four 100K in series, each with 1KV or so across them.

Comments?

Thanks,
Jim N7CXI
