Re: [AMRadio] Shorting stick

[Jim Wilhite]

True, but should something be wrong with the meter following a disaster, it 
might not show a charge.  What an arc would be drawn if 3 KV remained 
somewhere and you gave it a direct short.

I have always seen a high value resistor in these things.

If you do things right,
Power Down,
Watch the HV meters fall down,
Then - Apply the shorting stick,
There won't be an arc.
