Thanks Andrew. It's warm but not hot. However the 'r's are pretty hot all over the PS. I have used Ceramic MPC 0.47 ohms, 5W resistors.
What is the right way. CCrCrCC?
Cheers.
"It's warm but not hot".
Is it warmer than the partners?
Heat will shorten the life of the capacitor.
This will likely be the first capacitor in your PSU to fail or increase ESR with age. An increase in ESR will increase the hum at the amplifier and increase the heat in the capacitor.
I use RC and rC and Rc depending on the relative values of the Resistor and Capacitor.
The capacitance and inductance of an interconnect would generally be c & l (lower case L)
The resistance of a transformer secondary would be r.
The intermediate resistances could be 0r47/4 = 0r12 or 1r0 or 10r. 10r would definitely be R.
0r12 is r by my definition. 1r0 is debatable depending on the effective filtering turnover frequency relative to the frequency to be attenuated. Most writers tend not to differentiate between lower and higher values. The differentiation (r cf R, or c cf C, or l cf L) allows one to include RC filters or LC filters that are normally ignored in looking at a circuit. Inserting the r of the transformer is just such a case where it is normally ignored but can be a significant attenuator of some frequencies.
