Abstract
An integrated safety discharge module for providing a high voltage high current pulse to a load includes a capacitor and a bleed resistor, The capacitor is connected to the bleed resistor by such means as to form a structure which ensures that failure of either the capacitor or the bleed resistor will preclude charging of the capacitor and/or the delivery of energy to the load, The unit may also include a circuit for providing visual indication of a threshold charge on the capacitor.
