*****Grounding question



Original poster: "by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <dbanse-at-comcast-dot-net>

I have a 15kV60mA NST....
 
I have an older house where none of the sockets are grounded....(they were all
2 prongers....I just 'put in' three prong outlets....(but no wire to ground
with)
 
I want to test my NST with just the spark gap, and the capacitor.
 
What will happen if I just plug it in with no variac or anything else?
Will I get the shit shocked out of me?
 
My NST has two output terminals....which are obviously the 'OUTS'
 
It also has a 'GRD' terminal on the other side...which I am pretty sure means
'Ground'...........do I use this for anything, and if so, what do I connect it
to? ...a water pipe or something?
 
Thanks,
