I was unfortuanate to get a static electricity shock
form the topload of my coil yesterday which felt like
the time when i discharded a crt to my hand. I got it
when i was removing it after a short run with the
mains off. Ive heard this happens to other people too.
It seems strange that about 15 Kv could build up on a
topload which has a electrical resistance of 32 ohms
to ground mesured(which proves there is no gap between
secondy terminal and topload).

Could my shock of been because the charge built up on
me insted of the coil load. I was wearing rubber soled
shoes. 

Any thoughts ?
