I have a 9800uf 200v capacitor in a power supply that I would like to discharge in 1 second or less. I am connecting a bleeder resistor or a series of them to the cap to discharge but I can't figure out which one to use. I know that I can only have a max resistance of 45 ohms to get the cap down to 20v in about 1 sec. Also I have 5 10 ohm 10 w ceramic resistors that I would like to use if possible. What would your recommendation be for the proper resistor or is there a way to wire the ones I have?
