LegendBreath Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Yup,I just made the experience of capacitors... geez, they can hold theirs charges for a long time!So, is there anyway to discharge them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Clip a power resistor across it. A big capacitor would eat a chunk out of a screwdriver blade. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took my screwdriver :P it's not a big capacitor, it's a 2200uF 35v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 :)in that case just short it out with some heavey wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendBreath Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Or with a screw driver like I did :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 No.....do not short it out. Use the power resistor as audioguru suggested. A direct short and spark causes damage "inside" the capacitor as well. What kind of current surge do you think it takes to create that spark? It will not last as long when you damage it.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
