Usual resistors are rated up to around 700V dielectric. Some exotic SMT can go to kilovolts but they are expensive, rare and also long so that breakage or other flex damage is likely. Then there are small specialty mfgs such as Hokuriko but they aren't really very available at the usual distributors. Who sells regular resistors that are rated as bleeders preferably with medical device blessings?
