When repairing PCB of different designs or modules
If you find alot of 1/4 watt resistors burnt , some repair tech. will change the 1/4 resistor to 1/2 watt resistors so they won't get burnt up again so they can handle more current, but now the 1/2 watt resistors can handle all these extra current and voltage but now further down the chain the IC's melt or other 1/4 watt resistors burn
Its weird how where the 1/4 resistors are at in the schematic that have more current
From looking at a schematic how would you know which 1/4 resistors are going to get MORE CURRENT than others?
1/4 watt resistor list
1.) Resistors to ground? have more current?
2.) Resistors that sink current?
3.)
Which resistors in a network or design can STRESS the 1/4 watt resistor?
