Re: [AFMUG] OT 480v

I almost always work them bare handed and hot.  Try to keep one hand out of the circuit.  120 doesn’t bother me too much.  I don’t even start feeling it until 80 it 90 volts.  Have demoed that with a variac.  It the 277 jolt was felt in my pecs.  I did get 600 VDC solar circuit across a hand once, not too bad.  Spark plug wires hurt like a MF.  RF burns pretty bad too.  Got nailed by conducted 2.4 gHZ 2000 W circuit.  That was like picking up a piece of white hot metal.  Last but not least, bypassed interlocks on a microwave oven.  Briefly stuck my hand in to see what it feels like.  Feels like running like quickly runnng your hand ✋ ver campfire flames.

Should have clarified that. Not all new circuits. It's an older home with outdated wiring. So I think there were a couple new circuits, but there was plenty of other type of work. The friend was pointing out that the guy was working with live wires in several places. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On Sun, Oct 27, 2024 at 7:57?AM Ken Hohhof <khoh...@kwom.com> wrote: If they were totally new circuits and the last connection was at the breaker panel, that might not be as remarkable as it sounds. ---- Original Message ---- From: "Bill Prince" Sent: 10/27/2024 9:45:45 AM To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT 480v I have a friend who hired an electrician to do a couple of new circuits in his home. According to my friend, the guy did all the wiring bare-handed and without turning anything off. When I do that kind of thing, I at least wear some gloves. Zipping and zapping is not my favorite thing. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On Sat, Oct 26, 2024 at 10:13?PM Robert <i...@avantwireless.com> wrote: glad you are still around....
