Okay so thanks so far for all those that have answered by weird questions. It is much appreciated. I'm sure you're all sick fo this layout but here's a couple questions I again cannot find the answers by searching:
1) If the VVR is after the first cap and after the standby switch as per Dana's installation instructions, doesn't the first cap take the full load of the current/voltage? And as such, wouldn't it charge up then "shut off" or will it just never charge?? Will this damage anything when throwing the standby switch?
2) The layout didn't have a bleeder resistor, so I added one. You can see it under the first two solens. I am hoping this fulfills two roles:
a. A bleeder resistor (I assume the one is all I need, I don't need one after the VVR?)
b. It will also "complete" the circuit if the standby is off (open)?
3) the bottom of the pic shows the two big Solen fast caps with the Vishay 220k 3W under them. There is plenty of clearance (I think) to remove heat but just wondering if you guys think that's okay? I figured 350V*(350/220000)= 0.55 watts power so a 3w should be fine and not generate too much heat?

Re: Another question: VVR/Bleeder/circuit
Are going to put the bleed resistor on the under side of the board?
Re: Another question: VVR/Bleeder/circuit
No, on top between the caps, if you look at the bottom of the pic, the resistor (small circle) sits between the caps (two big circles) and has room with what i think to be plenty of clearance, which is my question. Is that plenty of clearance?
