Hi all,

I'm looking for high voltage resistors for electrostatic discharge tests,
470 kohm. The pulse discharge has a rise time of 1 ns, it's about 60 ns
long, and the voltage discharge it is up tu 8 kV.

What kind of resistor would I need?

Thanks.

Juan


carbon rod resistors. they look like large fuses.


HV resistors are metal film or thick metal film (whether they are on
a rod or flat silica plate). Carbon composition resistors are used as
arc suppressors in HV designs as they can handle several arc strokes
without appreciable internal fusing or damage.
