Hmmm.... I've had one of them open on mine already
while testing 211s.
It didn't arc.  It worked just like it was supposed to.
I haven't tried to replace the picofuse yet so don't know if
it blew to pieces or what.  I'll see if I can find it.
1000 volts in air won't sustain an arc over very much distance.
And the leads on a picofuse would melt-off quickly.
