[Amps] Glitch resistor

[Robert Arenella]

Hi Dick,
            Looks like one of your 3-500Z's is gassy & flashed over.  In 
addition to the added glitch resistor, be sure to check the .82 ohm, 1 
watt resistor on the rectifier board.  Any flashover usually takes out 
that resistor.

           As far as the added glitch resistor, my Ten Tec Centurion had 
a similar sized resistor.  I don't think the value is very critical.

73,

It seems an added glitch resistor opened, 10 ohm 10 watts doesn't seem big enough. did it do its job and sacrifice itself? The resistor looks fine no burns or anything. Should it be bigger or keep this size as a fuse?de Dick NY1E
