looking for this type of standard power resistor in aluminium housing with the following values:

100K 10W
47r 10W

seem to be having trouble finding them. I'd like to find a steady supply but would settle for a few.

[quote author="mkruger"][quote author="mcs"]47R is no problem - 100k is worse.

you have 47r 10W I could get?[/quote]

Usual suspect--Mauser. They don't have 100K, though.

No, but they are available from Farnell, RS and Elfa here, so they can't be too difficult to get in the US.

Are you sure you need 10W 100K? What's it for?

V = IR, I = V/R

W = I^2 R, W = V^2/R

W = 10, R = 100,000

so 10 = V^2 / 100,000

V2 = 1,000,000

So V = 1000V


(someone please check my maths for cock-ups!)
 
the 100K 10W along with a 10K 10W is for the B+ 320V power supply of a tube mic pre to create a floating ground of 30V for the K+ 12VDC tube heater power supply. yes, no?

Remember that your voltage divider is just providing a reference voltage for your heater supply; the tubes aren't drawing heater current through it.

The upper resistor in the voltage divider needs to drop
320 - 30 = 290V

Ohm's law sez:

P = Vsq / R = 84100 / 100000 = 0.841 watt.

Use a 2-watt resistor.
 
Also, with the voltage divider network in place, I don't think you need the bleeder resistors (R14, 15, and 17).
