bleeder resistor

A bleeder resistor can usually be selected to prevent the screen voltage from getting out of control.

A bleeder resistor is usually a standard resistor rather than a specialized component.

Proper designs always include 'bleeder resistors' to bleed off stored charge from the capacitors.

This higher voltage requires higher value bleeder resistors to avoid unnecessarily loading the supply circuits.

There were absorbers, too, backed by their bleeder resistors, air-gaps, ground-rods, and racks for discharged accumulators.

The failure of a bleeder resistor prevents the discharge of the capacitors, resulting in dangerous voltages being retained for many days.

Large capacitors can actually recover a substantial part of their charge after being discharged by the bleeder resistor, if the resistor is not left in place.

The bleeder resistor commonly found inside a flyback transformer is valued in the hundreds of megohms range, and can therefore not be measured with the common technician's multimeter.

If the normal load cannot be guaranteed to perform this function, perhaps because it can be disconnected, the circuit should include a bleeder resistor connected as close as practical across the capacitor.

A standard delta-capacitor type device was used which has a built-in inductor and bleeder resistor (Roxburgh suppressor type SDC051, rated 250V 5A).

Often, a high-resistance bleeder resistor is connected internally within the flyback transformer to ensure the charge is safely grounded when not in use, but many sets lack this, especially older models.

An un-suspecting user may get an electrical shock from opened equipment due to failure of a bleeder resistor, or the common practice of not fitting them, long after the device has been turned off or unplugged.

By choosing the proper size for this "bleeder resistor", the voltage will quickly decay to safe levels when the supply is switched off, yet the resistor will not consume too much power while the supply is on.

A bleeder resistor is a resistor placed in parallel with a high-voltage supply for the purposes of discharging the electric charge stored in the power source's filter capacitors or other components when the equipment is turned off, for safety reasons.
