Accidentally started to plug in the power to the electronics via the wattmeter today. Big spark made me stop and pull back, but this makes me wonder about three things:

1. Does the wattmeter have some sort of short circuiting to protect the important electronics on its output lines?

2. Is this what happened last year when 955 was using my wattmeter?

3. What is the reverse-voltage behavior of the ESCs? Do they let any current through?
