some industrial equipment that have built in capacitors, have a red
LED on the front panel to indicate if the capacitor is holding a
charge. Can this be done with the capacitors in a TC, or are the
voltages just too high?
It's a bit "low tech" but you could use a neon glow tube (glimm
lamp, guide light, ...). Just add multiple normal 1/4W 500Vmax
carbon or metal foil resistor in series with the lamp, or just a
single HV resistor, to keep the tube current down and below 1mA.
