HT capacitor balancing Rs , necessity ?
"N_Cook"
Well I call them HT balancing Rs anyway, in valve amps. Where 2 HV caps
are
used in series to avoid using extra high voltage single caps. I always
thought they needed 100K to 200K across each to balance out likelihood of
midpoint voltage drifting up or down and exceeding the rating of one cap
of
the pair.
** Not needed in most cases, the electro caps will simply balance themselves
at a mutually satisfactory leakage current.
The idea come from series connected, high voltage film caps which DO need
them or it is snap crackle pop time.
