[Amps] SAFETY WITH HIGH VOLTAGE

[peter.chadwick at Zarlink.Com]

I'd agree that the 53 ohm one sounds suspiciously low: I suppose it's
possible it arced from turn to turn and fused that way. can you see
anything wrong with it on a visual inspection? The usual reason for open
circuits in wirewounds is, I was told by a manufacturer,  frequently
corrosion where the coating has a pinhole.

These days, I use two bleeders in parallel, and even then, I don't trust
them!
