We are trying to shed some of the voltage coming off of the transformer in the legs going to a GZ33 tube rectifier. The idea is making the voltage lower earlier on in the power supply chain so the downstream components don't see too high a voltage. The GZ33 will soft start the voltage.
Say we want to shed 250V and the circuit current, total, is 100mA. Does that split to 125V off of each leg? Does the current through each leg come to 50mA?
If it is split to 125V off of each leg, and the current on each leg is 50mA then we need 2500 ohms in each ac leg feeding the GZ33 plates, right?
Sorry for the cross-post for those of you who read Tube DIY but often it seems we get some really good responses hear. Thanks!
