NOTE: It should be noted that when the armature ends are separated from the supply line, the voltage value of 220 / 0.707 = 311 V, which is the maximum value of the alternating voltage, is taken. This may not happen at every moment of separation. For safety reasons, it would be appropriate to take the highest voltage value to reduce it to 50 V in 1 minute. To ensure this, a discharge resistor is connected parallel to the capacitor terminals. In order to reduce the power losses in the resistors, the power values should be considered as 1-1/2 - 1/4 Watt.
