Hello,
Do you know where I can source high-voltage , low-power 1 MegOhm resistors for paralleling with Y caps, which bridge the primary – to – secondary isolation barrier in an offline SMPS?
These resistors must withstand the 3500VAC HiPot isolation tester.
-Though I cannot find resistors that meet this voltage requirement.
-the purpose of these resistors is to allow leakage current to pass from secondary to primary, in order that the secondary side does not float up to dangerously high voltages.
