Best Answer

They are resistance connected in parallel with high voltage power supply for the purpose of discharging the energy stored in filter capacitance when the equipment is turned off.

What is the difference between a normal resistor and a bleeder resistor?

A resistor is a resistor. Plain and simple. By Ohm's Law, resistance in ohms is voltage in volts divided by current in amperes. The difference lies in application, not in the resistor itself. A normal resistor will introduce a voltage drop or current that makes some effect in the circuit, based on some design criteria. A bleeder resistor, on the other hand does not really affect the circuit - it is only there to "bleed off", or discharge, capacitors when the power is turned off. Consequently, a bleeder resistor will typically have a higher resistance than a normal resistor but, again, the issue is circuit design, not the resistor itself.


How many ohms can a resistor have?

An almost unlimited number. Several million or several tens of millions of ohms are possible. At some point there is so much resistance that the resistor is almost considered to be an "open" or "open circuit" of the like. Bleeder resistors for bleeding off extremely high voltages or for use in voltage dividers used in high voltage applications can have extreme resistance values.

Why are you using bleeder resistor in LC filter?

In LC filter , Bleeder resistance is connected in Parallel with the load to maintain the minimum current through the choke and so the performance of the Filter improves.

Why does the bleeder on brakes need to be on top of the caliper?

The most important use for the bleeder valve is to remove air from the braking system. As air rises and will not flush out of a bleeder mounted low on the brake the bleeder needs to be at the top.


Why are bleeder resistors connected across the capacitors?

A: As the term says it bleeds the capacitor charge when power is removed . Because capacitor are like a water tank in its case it will store power for quite some time therefore a bleeder resistor is required. This power can be a detrimental factor to the circuit or sometimes even fatal to humans if it is assumed that shutting off power will totally remove the power.
