One think that I learned from my dad: make quadruple sure the high voltage is off before you work on it. :-) I once screamed at a nice woman because I was working on a high current high voltage switching system, and had turned it all off nicely. She turned it back on behind my back while I was working. That was before the days of "lock out"
Was it on this list awhile back (at least back while we were on the Cornell server) that we had the discussion about always being careful to discharge the flyback capacitor before doing any work on a TV set or computer monitor (and at least one person� confessed to have learned that lesson the hard way . . . )?
