[NJARC] Bleeder Resistor

[Al Klase]

Two 15k 10-watt units in series.
Four 30K (27K) 5-watt units in series-parallel.
You could also get creative with other, perhaps unequal values if you do 
the math or play with an ohm meter.  Round up whatever 5 and 10 watt 
resistors you have and be imaginative.

Regards,
Al

It uses a 2 lead transformer output, and adds a third line, returning power through a pair of diodes to one side, which feeds it out through a pair of diodes, making a full wave rectifier as well, with a pair of electrolytics between each side and center, and then a pair of resistors between each. This resistor started out as a 30K center tapped 20W resistor, which is now MIA. It looks like 15k is to either side of the center line, one going to each direction of diode equipped line.
