I'm not trying to teach an electronics class, I'm just trying to keep some new-bee's safe so they don't have to go thru what Hoss did. You do it your way and I'll do what I've done for over 20 yearsThere is no return path to the capacitors if you short one end to ground.

I think that's what most of us newbies was needing. I first hooked mine up to an old electric fence grounding stake that was already there behind the barn where i'm working, but after seeing and reading that other thread you posted there, thinking now I'll just use the ground within the chassisOriginally Posted by wdaddy

okay.. just finished all three of the 'recommended' threads http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/elect...g-monitor.html http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/elect...ing-guide.html and this one! and I gotta give a big THANK YOU to all the contributors. I just picked up a half dozen monitors yestrday...(they came with a free pile, TAKE IT ALL) I'm sure none have been plugged in for months, probably over a year. I still plan to use the screwdriver grounded clamp to discharge anything, but wondering, is there a time limit on the life of "bleed off resistors" holding the voltage? ie less chance the longer it has been without power?
I'm not real tech savvy and would hate to miss discharging something that might still hold a charge. Any tips on exactly what I'm looking for? or a sure fire way to tell if everything IS discharged and safe?
.........and for the blowup doll post. I keep two around, I like to make one watch!

Ah, Hoss, it's good to see this thread rear up once in a while. Probably should be made a sticky.

It is the best "lesson" someone can learn without the pain, and very well told.

The tires don't protect against lightning! The lightning goes on the shell of the car and then to the ground. Just about every year they mention that at storm spotter training classes. I know one spotter that was unlucky enough to be talking on his radio when his car got struck and ended up with nerve damage in his hand.

This is why i use a sludge to smash all that so i can get to the goodies. screwdrivers and sockets are for the inefficient

What the crap is a sludge, do you have sludge in your engine?? Maybe it's time for an oil change.
If your talking about smashing tubes, Please DON"T. You are contaminating the environment doing that.

For a person who runs a recycling business, you want to make sure the environment is protected which means no smashed CRT glass. Also, you may want to invest in some straps for your trailer, rather than a bungee cord. It looks like you have some pretty dangerous loads that you haul.
