How does one discharge a capacitor when working on a PCB, so that one
does not get electrocuted? Are there any other components that
maintain a charge after turning off power source. Thank you. please
answer to plcmd@xxxxxxxxxxxx
This is generally frowned upon both due to the pits it will produce in
the screwdriver, the noise, and potential damage to some types of
capacitors. See the info at the site below.
Rightly or wrongly, I use a 240volt BC pygmy lamp with two leads fitted with prods soldered to the pads on the bulb. Works for me.
