I am searching for wiring details for using=20
Aluminum Housed Wirewound Power Resistors used for therma=

control inside an insulated housing for the seismic sensors. It has=20=

suggested wiring several such resistors in series to accomplish a 10-30 wa=

from the 110v AC house supply source. I'm a little leery about the h=

current for safety reasons and possible AC hum.
In studying the Mouser Electronics catalog, I can find several possib=

configurations using one to several resistors in series. The=20
resistors specify their wattage capability, but have different resist=

values to choose from.
