Re: [TCML] STUPID QUESTION OF THE DAY

[Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an internal discharge resistor of 10 Megs or so.

The two terminals are the two poles of the cap, there is no electrical
connection to the case.

Whenever I kit-bash a Microwave Oven, I always wind a couple inches of 22
gauge hookup wire across the terminals to prevent static buildup and any
later nasty surprises.  Is there a chance that you did this and your friend
didn't notice?

Finally, how is your friend measuring the short? DC or AC. Stupid question I
know but it has to be asked...

	No safety wire.  Measurement was made with DC and unfortunately was valid - the thing IS shorted.
