- That's going to be quite a resistor, inasmuch as 4KV across a 30 ohm resistor amounts to a half million watts of dissipation! A 4KV pulse 50uS wide, once per second, would dissipate 25W. 73, Jim W8ZR

- That is for a glitch - the resistor limits the current in the even the tube (or whatever) arcs and dumps the B+ to ground. The caps will discharge through that resistor. I went through that sourcing

- Yes it is. Arc inside tube or HV touch to the ground make a large surge current. Without the series resistor tube, power supply diodes, meter circuits may be damaged. Or sometimes itself can burn or

- 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

- It would be nice if the resistor survived a dead short but it only need to limit current to a fuse opens. I typically use 15-20 Ohm 25W for the average 1500W amp...even if it does 2500W (-; Dentron t
