[Amps] Working on my Darwin award

  I always liked the front panel circuit breaker on commercial equipment that
is a sure fire way to remove all power in the instrument, except the line going to
the breaker from the external power cord.

say in about two seconds or so. That should give you time to watch the
line current and HV."

Or, simply jumper-bypass the step/start resistors during testing, as the
Variac is performing that function anyway.
