Default Safely testing 22 kV capacitors

The seller was wrong in describing them as 22 VOLT capacitors. They
are 22 KILO volt capacitors. (the seller is Fermilab).


This is kinda a sad commentary on the kind of people they'll hire at Fermilab
these days, no?

I don't know the proper care and feeding of such high energy storage
capacitors, but when I've seen people working with them they always carried a
long (about 6') wooden stick with a shorting strap (about 1"x6") on top to
always ensure the caps were discharged before they touched them.
