Hi !
This resistors to drop voltage shoud be huge .You need 150 V drop , and 250 mA , it is a lot of power and temperature - 37,5 W per each branch . Make sure so you have proper cooling . Resistor should have 600 ohm , if of course you need this 250 ma . How much of current You need to provide for application powered by this tran ?
Values of this transformer are telling me it's a power supply for tube amp , and I not reccomend any such big resistor reductions in main supply voltage because of voltage swing which depends from anode and other changing currents . Power supp should not to swing voltages . Revinding this tran is a better solution , I think .

The transformer is an inductive load (with an unknown inductance) so it would not be very easy to calculate the correct value. The easiest solution is to use another transformer to reduce the input voltage.sivan_and said:what abt a capacitor in series with primary winding ?
