Here is a summary of capacitor discharge situations:
Operator conditions: Vacuum tube radio/tv with isolated metal trim. (John
Woodgate)
Service conditions: Vacuum tube radar servo controller. (Doug Powell)
Service conditions: UPS capacitor discharge before servicing. (Bansi Patel)
Operator conditions: Defibrillator automatic discharge. (Dave Osborn)
Operator conditions: CRT capacitance. (Mike Sherman) (Dan Roman)
Service conditions: Power factor correction for motor drives (Ted Eckert)
(Julia Curson) (Mike Sherman)
Service conditions: Small ion implanters. (Lauren Crane)
We still need to identify in our safety standards when a charged capacitance
requires a safeguard.
Thanks for your responses.
Stay safe!
