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.

  • 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

Purkausvastus


Definition from own experience or research:
Purkausvastuksen tehtävä on purkaa virtalähteen
vaaralliset jännitteet, kun laitteen verkkojännite katkaistaan.

Example sentence(s):
  • Antenniliitännöistä on versiossani kustakin erillinen 150k purkausvastus maahan. Tämä sen vuoksi, että jokaiseen käytettyyn antenniin syntyvä ylijännite pääsee jatkuvasti maahan. Mikäli antenninvaihtokytkimen jälkeen olisi vain yksi purkausvastus ei se ehtisi purkaa ylijännitettä antennia vaihdettaessa, - PRESELEKTORIT tekniikan sanastot  
  • Suuria suurjännitekondensaattoreita käytettäessä on kytkennässä syytä olla kiinteä purkausvastus, joka purkaa kondensaattorin kohtuullisessa ajassa syöttöjännitteen katkaisemisen jälkeen. Tällainen purkausvastus toki kuluttaa muutaman milliamppeerin verran virtaa normaalikäytössä, joten sen tehonkesto pitää mitoittaa vastaavasti (ja mieluiten rajusti ylimitoittaa, jottei se kävisi kuumana). - Elektroniikan komponentit
