safety bleeder resistor

[teh_pwnerer795]

Hey guys

Yet another question for my little project. Srry for starting a new thread but its the easiest way to get attention to this "situation." lol My question is:

What is a safety bleeder resistor? It is connected parallel with a capacitor to ensure a safe charge? How and why is this safe charge?

Thnxs in advanced:)

Things are much nicer all around if you just leave things in one thread. Especially since people in your original thread might already be answering your question (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=651335&postcount=9).
