YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT ANY THING TO SHORT OUT ANYWHERE!

This would just make it much ,much worse.

OPEN CIRCUIT... I suggest that there is nothing but a relay that will do this.

In series with control inputs ,  three poles....opening the circuit!

Any body who gets the klicks should stop....and check that their over voltage cut off is set at a safe level.

If you do not follow this I sincerely suggest that you do not mess with the tpu..

A capacitor will charge to a certain voltage level and then not take anymore charge - essentially switching off.

Mannix - want to share a little with them about this?

A capacitor will charge to a certain voltage level and then not take anymore charge - essentially switching off.

Actually, with a constant current a capacitor will continue to charge past it's rated voltage until corona effects either limit further charging or, if the charging current is high enough, cause dielectric breakdown and failure of the device.

You know you are getting close to failure by examining the noise on top of the charge (corona noise). or the sharp increase in current if slowly ramping up from a voltage source.

Some dielectric materials are self healing and can recover from small punctures. Others fail catastrophically.

Thanks Vortex1.  Everything has it's limitations.

This form of energy is not "current" in the classical sense, it's what you get just before the current flows - before the charge carriers start to move - per the explanations of radiant energy researchers such as Bedini and Tesla.

By what ever means - you want to relax the field - stop the reaction - whatever you want to call it - before it becomes a problem.  Did every see the post about SM and the little meetiong he had about the device being used as a weapon of destruction?

Grumpy,
Even a simple rock can be used in a destructive manner. I wonder if the first people who came up with a knife debated so much about it's destructive power.
