24V AC hour meter on generator
I got this hour meter and connected internally to the 120V AC outlet, and it seems to work fine, even though is it labeled for 24V AC 50/60 Hz. Do you think this will be an issue? I put a 250K ohm re...

At first I tried a 25K resistor, then 100K, and then 250K. They all worked the same (basic small 1/4 watt resistors), dropping the voltage down from 80, to 70, to 68. And when you apply the math, you end up with only 0.02 watts through the resistor, AND the hour meter. I just wonder why the meter still operates on such small wattage...My goal was to get the AC voltage down to 25 or so, based on the specs for the meter. Apparently, it works otherwise...and at 0.02 watts, it will *never* get hot.
