What is a Bleeder Resistor?A bleeder resistor is a standard resistor connected in parallel with the output of a high-voltage power supply circuit for the purpose of discharging the electric charge stored in the power supply’s filter capacitors when the equipment is turned OFF. This is done for safety reasons.If someone accidentally touches during the service of equipment in the OFF state, there may be a chance to get shocked even if the device is in OFF condition. Hence, it is necessary to disch
