Discharge Of Microwave High Voltage Capacitor

I recently plugged on the microwave, so I was surprised that it didn't spark off

These caps have a self discharge resistor built in. At lower voltage it is supposed to happen within 1min of power being removed and at higher voltages they have 5min (don't quote me on this, its been awhile). But these can fail so please do not rely on them to keep you safe.

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again. Can not seem to find my spark, all fun and games until you short a billion farad capacitor, terrible things happened :)

You can die from these capacitors. People might not be aware how dangerous it can be.

Darkness consumes you and RUST your plier

I've watched a hundred of these vids & haven't seen one spark yet.

My co worker touched one it threw him backwards slammed him up against the wall scared the deal out of me.

If the microwave is left unplugged for weeks, would the capacitor still keep its charge or will it lose it? Actually, how long does the capacitor keep its charge if unplugged for a long time? I have a broken microwave and was going to remove the transformer when I tracked the wires and found it.

were you eating chips with those pliers or why are they THIS dirty ??😂😂

This video is wrong
Don't touch the capacitor with pliers
As pliers are not strongly insulated
The insulation at the end of pliers gets worn out and our hand gets exposed to high voltage instead watch other videos on youtube by using Insulated handle Screwdriver
