Looking at 3 different converter manufacturers surge current limit resistance:
Parallax: 2 ohm
Progressive Dynamics: 1 ohm
Iota: No thermistor, ac source resistance and converter input resistance is adequate.
None of these are failing! Their surge current limit is perfect in protecting all parts.
Tell me again why do you want 5 ohm?

I don't care what R it is, I just want one that won't blow! :)
BTW the spec here for that 350a was at 50hz, not 60, and I don't know what it means for half cycle or whatever that is, where you are not talking about real cycles or whatever---arghhhh!

I have some 325R020s left over and some 322R025s but no 355R25s, so I keep waiting for someone to say (besides just Salvo (ha ha) ) that I can use either and it won't matter. since the 5R020s do blow at times, I would like to try the 2R025s I have, but am scared to when PowerMax has gone to the 5R.
