Hi

I was *very* surprised to find that I could hit it with a megger and 
not have much of an affect on it. I have no doubt that it would 
interrupt a 480 volt circuit without much trouble. Judging by it's 
relatives running around before I got the Raid out it was a darn small 
ant. Makes you wonder just how small a bug would give you trouble on a 
dry keyed setup. Makes for a pretty good argument for higher voltages 
in the keyboard ...

	Take Care!
