Hi Dan, you can put a resistor of the proper value across teh capacitor that will bleed out the charge when its off, yet still allow it to operate. I have one of those across the cap of my magnetic pulser that chrages to 350 volts and in a few minutes it will drain the cap to zero after I turnt it off. The restior stays on there at all times.
