I'm a HVAC service technician, which means I get electrocuted on a fairly regular basis. I've been hit with 460V on many occassions, only stopped my heart once, then only briefly. They teach us to take measurements with one hand in our back pocket, that's probably the only reason any of us are still alive. I've been juiced by several motor run capacitors, usually under 80 uF though. Even then they were charged by AC, no telling what part of the wave they were at when they were disconnected. Wakes you up though. You've told me to use 1-10 Mega Ohm resistors, connected across the leads of the capacitors. This will discharge the capacitors automatically when disconnected from the charging circuit, and balance the voltage drop across each of them. I'm inclined to believe 1-10M will do the job and don't doubt your expertise, but I'd really like to know the science behind it. Could you perhaps point me in the direction of a good resource with which I might better educate myself?
