In previous projects, I’ve paid no attention to the type of resistor that I've replaced the carbon comps with. After watching this video I now know better. Thank you!
Wow!!! This is super-great information, series and video/production. Just excellent! I love your channel, for the EE content, and I am not even a HAM... lol. Thank you for all that you do for us.
This is valuable information. One other consideration that can sometimes be important is the surge capability of the resistor. Carbon composition resistors, due to the quantity of bulk resistive material contained within, can often absorb momentary overloads that might burn up film resistors. When equipment is initially switched on, there can be large transient currents, much larger than steady-state operation, while the filter capacitors are charging. The ceramic composition resistors or other resistors with suitable surge ratings may be required to replace carbon composition resistors in such cases.
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
Very informative. Thank you.
