Bleeder Resistor Bleeder Resistors are used as a safety feature to discharge capacitors to safe voltage levels after power is removed. A bleed resistor may be either connected permanently for cost effectiveness and high reliability or switched across a capacitor for...

A resistor’s Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) tells how much its value changes as its temperature changes. It is usually expressed in ppm/°C (parts per million per degree Centigrade) units. What does that really mean? Let’s use an example:...
