Small extra point about safety:

60 VDC is actually dangerous, it only needs to drive 25 mA or so through a
heart to kill. It wouldn't kill everyone who touched it, but the odds are
enough to constitue a good game of Russian Roulette if people try.

My point is, that if you're running 60 VDC you're going to need protection
such
that running 300 VDC isn't going to be any worse if you do it safely.


Your right, and it can sneak up on you. Got zapped good from a meter
calibrator supply once. It was set at 1000 volt too. Worse yet is radio,
had the top of of an old military tube radio and leaned on the top edge and
zap, made me buzz all day.

I will be very carefull with the danger there..
