I appologize if this has been covered before, but I can`t find anything conclusive.
I am building an Aleph 2 and I am trying to figure out the minimum resistor wattage for all the resistors.
I have settled for Caddock MP930 as power resistors (R22 - R27 and R40 - 51) but I am having trouble with the rest of the resistors.
Will 0.5 watt VD RN65 be sufficent or should I get some 1 watt for the remaining resistors?
Also if anyone would would care to enlighten me as to how to calculate the wattage of the resistors, I`d be gratefull. I know the basic formulas, but I don`t understand how to use them in a circuit with +- 45 volt rails, transistors, parallel and serial etc.
Thanks a lot.
