Re: oscilloscope



What type/ model of scope are you using?
If you don't ground the scope + a fault occurs, the current could go
to ground via you.
If you are having problems with spikes, and if capturing the waveform
is not essential you could connect a choke, or similar, between the
probe + oscilloscope.

Just a few thoughts, JD
