I have a small micro-controller board that has analog output and can operate external low-voltage devices. I am looking to have a replacement harness of some type that will connect to existing/installed capacitor (start capacitors, 370vac+), and allow my board to perform tests.
it can be presumed that the board can detect if the entire system is operational, and can prevent the entire system from being turned on during this test procedure.
I want to be able to:
Can this be done?
Many thanks!

I want to be able to:
- isolate the capacitor from rest of system - via the harness. This prevents any bleed to other components.
- discharge this capacitor - i.e. shorting the poles with a screwdriver.
- perform a mfd test - as done with a multi-meter - to determine if capacitor may be bad.
- undo operation performed in 1. allow the capacitor to re-charge.
Can this be done?
Many thanks!
