Some peeps use a few 1meg bleeders accross the wire wound types as secondary protection. The theory is if the big resistors go, the 1 megs will bleed down the charge. Being that they are so much higher R value than the actual bleeders, they dont enter into things, so thay loaf along. Something like 1meg/1Watt per 400 volts of protection. The breakdown voltage of the 1M/ 1W is around 500.
-- If u bleed a 1000 Volt supply, you want MORE than 2, 1 Watt resistors accross the thing. 3 is the bare minimun. This is inclusive of your 30K per new 450 WVDC cap. (GFZ's 50K is a good idea too)
