The RH series needs a substantial heatsink. I would also be careful using those for high voltage unless you're sure of the rating. If you'd rather use a standard wirewound power resistor in place of the RH, the link below is a good place to look. Check part no. W250WL8103 (250 ohm, 60W) near the bottom of the page. There are several others on the page that also look promising.
