Although I spotted the problem before it killed me, this wasn't cool.
It also proves that I need a more serious contactor for a HV relay!

I would suggest bringing the HV up with a variac while monitoring line
current and DC HV. That's always prudent no matter what you're working on.
High power variacs are expensive but it's a tiny fraction of what you
have invested in ham radio, and you can always sell them for near what
you paid.
