Hi, In a current project, I'm stuck with what I think is probably simple to solve for experienced people.

If I have say 1000W, 3500V DC output from a fullbridge rectifier, how can I build a very simple device/circuit to utilize all or most available power virtually instantly or very quickly? A short circuit is overkill. A HV lightbulb maybe if one exists. Or a spark gap to earth is that possible?

I'm an amateur so don't know quite where to start with this problem.

Any and all answers appreciated.

Start by STOPPING.

No one - amateurs in particular - should NOT be considering such a project. This is a one way ticket to the mortuary.

What on earth would you want to do this FOR?

Please, I've sailed through cyclones, fought griz barehanded whilst naked, have a PhD in CS. No personal advice needed please grandma.

Do you have a useful suggestion?

If you have to ask Q's about using those sorts of voltages
then you are definitely not qualified to be working with them
regardless of how many grizzly bears you have wrestled

Your question doesn't make any real sense.

You need to tell us more about what you are trying to do, rather than trying us how you think it should be done if you want useful help.

A literal answer to your question is "a 12.25kΩ resistor"
