English term

bleeder resistor

GBK English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Definition from Wikipedia:
A bleeder resistor is a resistor placed in parallel with a high-voltage supply for the purposes of discharging the energy stored in the power source's filter capacitors or other components that store electrical energy when the equipment is turned off.
Example sentences:
It is a more specific object of the invention to provide a method of economically fabricating a very small bleeder resistor whose value does not change substantially as a function of applied voltage, and which can withstand relatively high test voltages and operating voltages. (Free Patents Online)
In order to measure the bleeder resistor in the flyback you must have a meter that can measure up to several hundred megaohms. (Electronic Repair and Technology News)
In this instructable, we will discuss how to remove the bleeder resistor from the medium sized metal can capacitors such as those found in microwaves. This will not work for all capacitors. Some have an internal resistance which cannot be removed. The Samsung units, like those pictured below, are known to contain a removable resistor. (Instructables.com)
