English term or phrase: bleeder resistor
Definition from Wikipedia:
A bleeder resistor is a resistor placed in parallel with a high-voltage supply for the purposes of discharging the energy stored in the power source's filter capacitors or other components that store electrical energy when the equipment is turned off.

Example sentence(s):
  • It is a more specific object of the invention to provide a method of economically fabricating a very small bleeder resistor whose value does not change substantially as a function of applied voltage, and which can withstand relatively high test voltages and operating voltages. Free Patents Online
  • In order to measure the bleeder resistor in the flyback you must have a meter that can measure up to several hundred megaohms. Electronic Repair and Technology News
  • In this instructable, we will discuss how to remove the bleeder resistor from the medium sized metal can capacitors such as those found in microwaves. This will not work for all capacitors. Some have an internal resistance which cannot be removed. The Samsung units, like those pictured below, are known to contain a removable resistor. Instructables.com

resistència de descàrrega


Definition from own experience or research:
Resistència de descàrrega es la resistència que es col·loca en paral·lel amb un condensador per descarregar a terra altes tensions acumulades en un circuit, mentre no és actiu.

Example sentence(s):
  • Coneixent el valor de la resistència de descàrrega R, i amb el valor de τ obtingut, calculeu la capacitat del condensador, i compareu-la amb la nominal (anotada al condensador). - OpenCourseWare - Universitat de Barcelon  
  • El condensador ha de portar (dins o fora) una resistència de descarrega que, quan està sense tensió, el descarregui per sota dels 50 V en 1 min (cas de baixa tensió) o en 5 min (cas de mitja tensió). - Instal·lacions Eléctriques, Roig-Rull
