Capacitor Leakage Tester

[AngraMelo]

Hello friends,
Im building this circuit but I have a couple of questions.
About the resistor divider for the current meter: If V+ is around 330V, I believe there will be a rather large current going through those resistor, but the
he is using regular 25 turn trimmers and 1/4w resistor. What am I missing?

It is leakage tester, not a short circuit checker, so do not worry

It is hard to see schematic in video for my old eyes
