X.6016. RESISTANCE FOR HALF CHARGE SCHEME.

In reply to your query, the specification of the resistance wire for the half charge scheme which should be adopted is 2'1" i.e. 25" of 26 SWG. Eureka wire.

This does not allow for any connections and has a resistance of about 1.8 ohms. The reduction in output is about one third the peak value on the reduced curve, being about two thirds of the full output peak value.
