If the power is applied with the CT output open circuit, the voltage across the CT terminals will rise to a value approx. equal to primary voltage x (current reduction ratio).

e.g. with a 5/1000 CT, ratio is 200:1, so 400V not primary would give 80000V at CT terminals.

That would make the scope "on every occasion", then?

Once the CT outputs are safely connected to a shunt resistor, the short can be removed.
