I'm extremely new to all of this (I'm learning as I go!) and I've decided to build a 300V Xenon Strobe for fun and as a learning experience. I will be building it according to the diagram below, with a 12V to 300V step-up converter, a bank of 6x 300V capacitors totaling 60uF (Cs), and with a 300V 0.22uF trigger capacitor (Ct).
Now, the diagram calls for a resistor between the input voltage and the 0.22uF trigger capacitor. How do I calculate what size resistor I need? I have searched for hours and can't find anything that explains this. Also, do I need a resistor on each of the 6x 10uF main capacitors (Cs)?
Thank you for the help!!
