Hello,
I have a .45 farad 20V electrolytic cap that I need to discharge from time to time.
I need to know the best value resistor to use that will allow me to discharge the cap in 2-3 minutes safely.
By safely, I mean that the resistor will not overheat or even get very hot.
I am making a small plug to fit into a mating socket on the cap.
The plug will have an LED and the resistor so that when the discharge is complete my user will know.
Any tips/advice are appreciated.
