Ceramic core resistors
Terry, Gary, list,
Well I now have some ceramic resistors from some surplus stuff.
So I am not going to build some bombs with the others :)
they are 4700 Ohm 25 Watts, I have 12 to be exact...
I asked some friends on series and paralleling resistors to achieve
higher values, but nobody seems to remember the rules...
school time is far away and I can't find my old books :<
So my question is what are the rules to use some resistors
in the form of a multi resistors net ? (like mmcs)
Series = more ohms ?
Parallel = more watts ?
another question I have, is were to recover som MOVs ...
I cannot order from digikey... too much money for a poor order,
as I live in Italy. Is there any apparatus to dismantle to find some ?
I mean rated 1800 Volts.
Ciao all
Tnx again
Daniele
