I am using 50Kohm linear pots and for 10X the value I'd need 500K resistors to go across wiper to ground. I guess they don't have alot of selection for 1W 500K resistors. I only see one on mouser. On digikey it's 1/2W max. I was hoping to go higher in power rating to 1W.
According again to ohms law
P=V^2/R
= 44.7VX44.7V/R
= 0.039962W
A 1/8W would work even with a double safety factor.
Would you suggest going higher?
The next option would be 470k resistors I have at 1W which is close to 500K
