Re: [TCML] Mmc

Hi Ruben,
 
A little arithmetic will show this is a trivial problem. For illustration,  
let's assume three strings of 10, 10 meg resistors each and a 10 kV /60  mA 
supply. Each resistor sees a voltage drop of 1 kV max. Power dissipated  in each 
one is E*E/R =100 mW, or 3 watts peak power for the whole MMC. Out  of 600W, 
that's 0.5% peak.

I am  building an mmc to replace my salt water cap, and I am curious are 
bleeder  resistors really necessary?
Won't they hurt output  wattage?
