[AMPS] HV Fusing / Diode Protection

[Steve Iezzi]

I have used the Metal Oxide resistors available in Digi-Key (Panasonic and
Yageo) for the same purpose.  They are flame retardant and handle high surge
currents.

0.82 ohms is listed as a stock value in 2 watt rating.  High voltage may arc
across the small body when open but that's still preferable to the short
circuit situation.
