Dear Malcolm, Very good explanation of how Caps regain a charge after being discharge.
For that reason I attached clipped leads to the caps after discharging them
On the subject of Power supply caps, I recommend some type of resistance rather
than say a direct short from an old tool to drain the cap unless you plan on
replacing the cap. Using the direct short method can damage either the Caps
plates, the di-electric, or both.
Regards,
Steve Foss
