Salvo, no call for being so nasty.
In any case, ISTR he already did estimate 30a to go with the 170 and came up with 5.7R, while Ken used 50a to come up with 3.4R. My previous post seeks clarification on where the 30 or 50 or any other number comes from. 85 would let you use 2R. Seems to have to do with the diode bridge specs.
On that Salvo used the inrush limit spec of 300 to get 1/2 an ohm for R, so there is a conflict over which part of the diode bridge's specs to use to go with 170v peak to get Min R.
