Earth Trip keeps cutting out

[Craig]

Worst belt I had was a 20kV capacitor bank made of hockey puck ceramic caps in parallel. Discharged it through a resistor, waited a bit then removed it. Took the ground strap off. Came back a while later and picked it up - POW. That was my discovery of dielectric recovery writ large, and also my discovery of the SIDE rule.

Er - a bit off topic...
