Thread-topic: [TCML] Bleeder resistor for Maxwell cap
That is why I always use a bang stick to short the capacitors in addition to bleeders before I touch anything just in case.

Yes a failed bleeder is a real risk with potentially nasty consequences
In high energy situations I put 3 separate chains across the cap system
bolted directly to the terminal to safeguard against a bleeder resistor
failure as a little extra insurance. Recommend more than a single bleeder
chain myself.
