Hi
I have built a 30 v PSU for a chip amp I have built building it has 40,000uf of smoothing.
This bank of capacitors stays charged which is rather dangerous as I am still adjusting the amp.
What value ohms and watts would I need for a bleeder resistor? There’re 4 capacitors in the PSU.
Am I right in thinking I can just use one resistor across the leads going to the amp.
Any help would be very much appreciated

2k2 3w is usual value.
An other way to empty the caps is to shut down the amplifier first, let the sound collapse, and then shut down the source.
Such as i do.
