I am building a power supply using a string of el cheapo electrolytics about
100 volt 200uf, i will be using at least 20 of these. Based on the assumption
of 100 Ohms per volt i would require about 200k of total bleeder. This would
result in using 10K 20 watts per capacitor. Using Measures arguments for lower
heat and reliability using 100 K 3 watt resistors, i would end up with 2
MegaOhm of resistors in the power supply bleeder chain. Is this good practice
using such a large total resistance for the bleeder chain?
Thanks
Byron
