Hi!
I want to safely discharge 10 high voltage capacitors with the flick of a switch.
The caps will, in normal use, be wired in series but I wanto to discharge them in parallel because it'd be quicker - and, hopefully safer when I'm poking around inside.
I was thinking of a 10 pole single throw switch that would switch in 10 chunky discharge resistors one each across each of the caps .
But, i cannot find any 10 pole single throw switches![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I don't really want 10 (spst), 5(dpst) or 4(tpst) or 3(qpst) separate switches if i can avoid it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
