I need a circuit to tell me when my capacitors are charged to around 200V or 400V, am i correct in thinking i can use a potential divider with high value resistors and a neon bulb, the resistor values chosen to give a voltage of 70-95V(i think this is the strike voltage for most neon bulbs)
what kind of current do neons pull?, i wanted to use high value resistors to keep the current flow from the capacitors to a minimum.
are there any other possible indicators other than neons, perhaps LED's??
Thanks.
