I cringed when I saw the clip leads with that much voltage on them. They typically are made with only 600 volt rated wire. Back in tech school days I determined that a television we had in the shop needed a new fly-back transformer. For some reason the instructor told me to wire the new one in with clip leads first to check it. There was almost 28,000 volts, yes twenty eight thousand volts, and it worked. I shut it off and as I went to disconnect the clip leads a couple had fused together. The plastic insulation had broken down under the stress of that much voltage. God only knows how many microseconds we were away from frying it. LOL
