RE: [TCML] Bleeding resistors for MMC

[John Byström <zrc@xxxxxxx>]

Ok, my caps are rated 2kV, because of the peak value.

Hopefully the resistors I'm going to buy rated 1kV will 

hold. 

I also found a much cheaper dealer than Elfa,
(RS-online) where I've found higher rated resistors.

Thanks for the answers!
