Create this simple bleeder probe to safely discharge caps. NEVER trust that manufacturers have put in bleeder resistors on anything. (I almost destroyed my new meter on a simple error.)

If you can remember to use the discharge probes, you should remember to discharge the cap by touching it with a screwdriver or a piece metal object before measuring the cap. I know the 10 ohm resistor is to reduce the spark but will not completely discharge the cap.

[@laidman2007]

Is that a 10ohm power resistor? How many watts? Like the discharge tool idea. Thank you.

[@GeirAndersenRepairs]

@laidman2007 Yes, it’s a 10 ohm 1W power resistor

[@daytonagreg8765]

I’m a noob. Can I ask a dumb question?
When you said “That one’s COMPLETELY shorted”, what exactly does that mean?
I assume that shorted means electricity goes through with little to no resistance. But, without the beep, what kind of “reading” indicates it’s bad? Thank you.
Still reading & watching TH-cam to understand. Thanks.

@daytonagreg8765 In the case of a diode (where electricity is only supposed to flow in one direction) when electricity flows both ways, it's toast. Electricity is only supposed to go from anode through to cathode and be "stopped" from cathode to anode. If diode mode continually beeps (showing constant flow) in the wrong direction, the diode is bad.
