    How Do I Calculate Bleeder Resistors for a 1000V Cap Bank?

    Just wondering couldn't i dump the bank into some light bulbs or would that result in glass every were, And for the r=3.7037*10^3 that's in ohms right? Oh and kinda funny thing, i went to check the voltage on the bank and my work bench is a mess so i grabbed two wires with alligator clips on...

    How Do I Calculate Bleeder Resistors for a 1000V Cap Bank?

    Ok, So let's see if i have this correct if i want to bleed off completely in 30 seconds i just need one 54 mega ohm resistor rated for 18.519m Watts? Its been a very long time since I've done this kind of math

    How Do I Calculate Bleeder Resistors for a 1000V Cap Bank?

    Just wondering how my Ohms/Watts should my bleeder resistors be on a cap bank ratted for 1000v at 1620 microfarads (Each cap is 200v at 2700 microfarads) so a total of 810 joules if I'm not mistaken. (5 caps in series and 3 strings) |[]-[]-[]-[]-[]| |[]-[]-[]-[]-[]|...
