In the case of equal value parallel resistors, the capacitors would
have to be rated at twice the normal operating voltage.
Otherwise you gain nothing.
Using a high value and low value in parallel would really be
wasteful.
If the resistors serve the purpose of bleeders only, and not
equalization, then two systems in parallel is a worthwhile
idea...except for the following condition:.
anyone who depends on bleeders to guarantee no HV after a given
period of time is a fool, and we should let Darwin's selective
evolution theory go to work and cull him out of the gene pool.
