// Two equalizers in parallel would not solve the open-resistor problem 
because the resistance across each capacitor must be the same at all 
times or capacitor failure is certain.  High value wire-wound resistors 
have a higher failure rate than MOF resistors, so the solution is avoid 
wire-wound resistors in this application.
