hey folks, I wanna ask for advice.
Let say if I am making a SET of 2A3 driven by 6SH7,
and I wanna make a power supply for both 320V and 180V, using capacitor and resistor circuit to "drop" the 320V to 180V?
how can I accurately calculate the resistor value for it ?

thanks :)

Assuming that the 6SH7 is operating in triode mode and the plate current is 10 mA, then using Ohm's Law (R = V / I):

R = (320 - 180) / 0.01= 14 000 or 14k ohms

The operating point of the 6SH7 in your circuit may be different, so you may have to recalculate using your actual operating current.
 
thx pinholer, but let say the circuit shown below , the math doesnt work ;
the voltage drop at 6SL7 end is too small if use of the presumed current draw by 6SL7 x tWO 2k2 resistor ........

Why would it? :confused::confused::confused:
You ask about:
320V and 180V .... 6SH7 ....

While your schematic shows:
* NO 6SH7
* NO 320V
* NO 180V

anywhere. :rolleyes:
