The air arc is just about as long anyway since it's RF. And it doesn't risk overloading the xfmr as a straight-to-ground current path might.

Yes, I'll ground the screwdriver. I just make sure I do not ground the HV Plate lead.
I just want to ensure the current goes to ground and not through me! One should be able to draw an arc when the tip is about 1/2" away. This is a quick test and should harm the circuit if a tube is used
