Gave us:
Why hasn't anyone mentioned yet that if you DO get a HV probe for your
meter it will serve as a resistor to discharge those caps.
If you were observant enough of the thread, you would find that even
the original poster mentioned the HV probe loading.
I guess my powers of observation are failing me Roy, but I always like
to check out where I missed something and try and figure out why it
escaped me.
Would you kindly point out where the OP revealed that he realized a HV
probe would serve as a safe discharging means, albeit a rather slow one?
(Before I mentioned it that is.)
Thanks,
Jeff
