[435] How to Discharge a Capacitor - Capacitor Safety 

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite electronics channels. I’m just learning electronics in my retirement and I need people who explain the very basics with no assumptions of knowledge.

Sir, iam a basically a mechanical engineer, after watching your videos, now become electronic engineer, thanks for your videos, I need wiring diagram for fanuc power supply module

This IS GREAT. Very simple, strait forward, but well explained.

Wery simple and very useful. I was discharging capacitors with screwdriver and hate the pop and welding on tip of screwdriver etc. Thank You! Good and easy to understand video!

That was so amazing and simple and straight to the point. Great stuff sir

This channel deserves way more subscribers.

I was just looking for designs for this device and there you are in my subscriptions; perfect timing! Your design is unique in that it allows the voltage to be conveniently observed with a multimeter. You have me thinking on clever designs for my build. I have an extra volt meter that is not so valuable. I think that I will make it a dedicated capacitor discharger, by placing the resistor across the probe pins, on the PCB. That will make for a neat, professional package. I am excited! Thank you for the inspiration!

Thank you, you explain this very well. I got a small shock from a small capacitor in a camera once. I am going to replace some relays in a hi-fi amplifier soon that has large capacitors. I am definitely going to take your advice and check the voltage and discharge the largest capacitors before working on the board 👍

Great information ways you are such an excellent teacher 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Im a newbie in this field but watching all your videos im becoming pro 😊😊😊 in less than a time thank you sir for all your demonstration n information you deliver

Waow thanks for the knowledge. You always have a video for any problem I face. Am a beginner and I always face so many challenges and doubts since I no one to learn this from aside youtube.Keep up the good work.

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

Great and informative, thank you :)

Thanks for sharing very interesting

Amazingly useful video Big Like from London 🇬🇧👍

Assalamualaikum Thank you so much for sharing very useful and informative video with us

Beautiful explain.

Great video. Thank you!

Great vid 👍

Nice explanation

i love your job..i learned a lot of things from you.. thank you for everything🙏🙏🙏🙏

Very useful information thanks

Good job

Thank you! That was very helpful

Useful info 👌👍

Great video, I'm going to build this.

MASHA ALLAH awesome vlog, super technical and informative, thanks for sharing, stay safe and blessed

Alhamdulillah .. usefull info .. tqvm

Very good idea and very very cheap to make it to all technical people

very nice 👍

Thank you! Love your stuff!!!

Have a great weekend Haseeb!

Good details

Thanks, great idea.

Thank you sir

Best tutorial fresent bossku

Very useful information. Thanks

clear explanation

Good clear video. Thanks

Good Video My Friend!

Thank you for this brother.

Beautiful 👍 Very nice video 👍👍

Great tuition Sir

Wsalam 👍 my intelligent and very talented bro excellent 👌 job

very nice video. thank you very very much

Brilliant Jo my friend, can you use the resister on any size capacitor or have you got to go up in size . Thanks Tony

Thank you Sir, very helpful video

Excellent

Good information about discharge of capster

Salam M Hasseb, nice video ! I did a mistake while desoldering a bulk capacitor in an atx psu and i don't have any output anymore, can you show how to play with opto coupler to force the startup. Thank you.

thanks master

Lk 42 good job brother 👍

Super Master 👌 Thank you so much 💓 🙏 ❤❤❤❤

Amazing with full wt

Thank you so much. Now I understand

Great

I have a question. I have a 10 ohm 100 watt resistor that I use for discharging capacitors. This discharges the capacitor very quickly with no sparks but will I cause damage to the capacitor by using such low resistance?

Thank you.

Nice video brother 👍 Stay happy 💖 🏠🏡

Thanks 😊 master Thank you so much this video very very useful for myself Thank you so much Brother 💓 😊 😀 ☺️ 🙏 💜

Wow super Master 👌 Thank you so much 💓 🙏

Nice, I was looking for something like this😊👌🏻I will make this resistor with crocodile just clipable on multimeter probes😊Thanks

Just wanna add something. If you use Fluke Meter, Testing Charged Capacitors directly using capacitance test, the tester will display diSC indicating the multimeter is discharging the capacitor before it measures the capacitance. Fluke 87V has this feature and been using every time I encounter a capacitor that might be charged.

sir make a video on gate drive transformer

بهوت اتشها انفرميشن great رائع

Dear.. could help someone like me who are newbie .which tools is essential that we must purchase for start repairing or initial utility must have

Can i use a light bulb to discharge na capacitor?

dear haseeb sir once my professor told you can discharge capacitor in diode mode is it safe? the easiest way is bulb they say. please guide me .

Are you a qualified Electronics Tech .

Yes, it's bleed resistor, but also equilizing resistor, during normal PSU operation. Over time, voltages across 2 capacitors can differ by few volts, due to inperfection and initial difference in capacitance, and many other factors. These 2 caps don't age exactly the same way. I've used MATLAB to optimize between time to charge and discharge power. I've found it's fine for 6kohm resistors for continous discharge of 15 seconds, or less.

Danke, Herr Haseeb Schönes und lustiges Video Aber bisher gibt es keine Antwort auf meine Frage in einem früheren Video Woher wissen wir den Wert einer beschädigten Zenerdiode ohne Zahl? Vielen Dank

Sir if we I want to discharge even more fast then what will be the value of resistance?

I'm here because I just got grounded by the power supply of my ps4 that has been out of the power outlet for more than 4hrs. already 🤣 I didn't know that it holds a charge hahahah

ive accedently touched my 12v to 320v circuit and get a nice mark on my hand🤣🥴🤯

We can. Use test lamp, 60 w filament bulb

I use 100w ac bulb for discharging..😊😊😊😊

wa alaykum asalam !!!

This saves me from getting shocked.

safety

I can’t see where the probes are touching. Please zoom next time.

Good job Just try to used 100 watt bulb for capistor discharge 1 holder 1 100 watt bulb 1 feet wire

Stop shorting capacitors use high wattage and ohm resistors to discharge instead.

I use a lamp to discharge
