[TCML] Terry filter - does one need the current limiting resistors with a current limited NST?

[bartb]

The resistors are there to dampen transients which make it through the 
filter. The resistor values can be changed to accommodate other 
transformers as needed, but for the 6/50 NST, your fine using the listed 
values (1k, 100W). Be sure to only use 10 MOV's with this 6kV rating, 
otherwise the MOV's will not protect the NST. You will still have 
filtering action without the 2 large resistors, but you won't have that 
resistance needed to dampen out transients and other possible issues 
(such as the NST, wiring, etc.. becoming resonant with the tank cap).

Take care,
Bart
