    Building a Capacitor Discharge Stick…Chicken Stick…Jesus Stick

    I've seen steel screwdriver tips deformed (arc welded) when used to short the caps on linear amp power supplies... that's why we use a low current (low power) resistive device and take our time. I maybe be wrong here but it's your life and limb at stake. Most of the time the amp bleeders will...

    Building a Capacitor Discharge Stick…Chicken Stick…Jesus Stick

    Just came across your post on the resistive discharge stick. If you use a 3000 ohm resistor at 3000vdc,the current will be 1A and the power that has to be discharged will be 3000W. How will a 10W rated resistor handle that? I think that resistor needs to be on the Megohm side.
