To be safe, do that the other way around. Connect an _insulated_
wire to the
case FIRST, and then try to draw an arc from each terminal. Slowly
bring
that 'grounded' wire near each terminal and note about how far away
it is when
the arc first starts. Then slowly increase the distance and note
how far the
arc will go before it goes out. The two terminals should be equal,
with the
arc starting at about 1/4" to 1/2" and widening to an inch or more
as you
"draw" the wire away from the terminal. That's how you safely
"draw" an arc.
