Re: [TCML] Bleeding resistors for MMC

[Brandon Hendershot <brandonhendershot@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK,
with that said, how do these values sound?
P=0.00033333 watts
t=0.15 seconds
I don't know what to look for exactly, do I need more ohms? Less  
watts? It's a 10M ohm 1/2 Watt resistor. 2Kv 0.15uf caps.

I can't say it enough, THANKS EVERYBODY!
