How Long does it Take for a Microwave Oven Capacitor to Discharge?

Intro In the 1970’s bleeder resistors on microwave oven high-voltage capacitors started coming into the picture amid safety concerns. By the early 1980’s they started becoming more standard. However, there are plenty of units out there without bleeder resistors, that can hold a charge for a very long time (weeks to even months), due to […]
