Select an appropriate discharge resistor based on capacitor voltage and capacitance. Connect the discharge resistor across the capacitor terminals using insulated probes. Monitor voltage decay using a high-impedance voltmeter in parallel with the resistor. Maintain the connection until voltage drops below 50V or to the specified safe level.
Customer ServiceA bleeder resistor is intended to discharge a capacitor when the power is removed. It is connected across the terminals of the capacitor and is sized to discharge that capacitor to a "safe" voltage in some small number of seconds.

Customer ServiceThe 0.1 to 1 Ω resistor values you are suggesting would dissipate 50 W and 5 W respectively, but would discharge the capacitor in 1 ms and 10 ms. That''s rather a lot of power to waste on a board, and the resistor will get very hot.
Customer ServiceDISCHARGE RESISTORS Power capacitors store electrical charges that after their disconnection can turn out to be dangerous for people during operation of inspection and maintenance. To reduce these voltages to safe values, discharge resistors must be used.
Customer ServiceRemember that the safe discharge of the capacitor must be carried out by means of suitable resistance. Using an underrated resistor may lead to its damage. Therefore, when selecting a resistor, take into account the power emitted by the resistor, which is equal to the quotient of the square root of its voltage and resistance.
Customer ServiceTo choose an appropriate resistor, we have to consider the connection among the momentary voltage (Vt) across the capacitor, the resistance (R) intended for discharge, and ‘Vu’ is the primary voltage, the momentary time‘t’ & the whole capacitance of the capacitor is ‘C’. Then, the following equation is used for calculating the resistor value.
This resistor is a standard and high-value resistor and it is used in the filter circuit for discharging the capacitor. The capacitor discharging is very essential in the circuit because they can give current shock ever after the power supply is turned off.
It’s essentially a high-value resistor connected across the terminals of a capacitor or between the positive and negative voltage rails in a power supply circuit. This tool calculates the value of Resistance (Ω) required to discharge a capacitor in a specified amount of time.
The capacitor discharging is very essential in the circuit because they can give current shock ever after the power supply is turned off. So it is mandatory to employ a resistor namely a bleeder resistor to overcome the current shocks. So these resistors are used for safety purposes.
Choosing a high-value resistor reduces power loss but slows down the bleeding process. So, the designer has to select a properly valued resistor that is high enough to not interfere with the power supply and low enough to discharge the capacitor in a short time.
But if we connect a standard resistor in parallel with that capacitor, the capacitor will discharge through the resistor. Selecting a small-value resistor allows for high-speed bleeding but consumes more power. Choosing a high-value resistor reduces power loss but slows down the bleeding process.
