[Test-Equipment] Another boat anchor - Del Electric High voltage supply?

[rbethman]

Mike,

I agree with that use.

We used to test upward of around 250KV though.

This particular model seems to go way too high in voltage for amateur 
use.  Somehow I don't see "us" testing to 50KV.

That would be pushing one's luck - especially in the safety of one's home.
