Guest Kens06 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Damn Brian!!I very seldom work 277 hot!!I may disconnect a fixture or tie a new one into a live circuit to avoid having to shut a whole office area down.Yes, I've been hammered a few times but your reactions tend to push you away!!Your Dad got hung up!!The worst situation an electrician can get into!!Your body or parts of it are the means of least resistance for current flow!!You continue that flow until the fuse blows or breaker trips, or the connection between Hot and Ground is severed!!Visual evidence says he finally kicked himself loose by making the ladder fall and gravity helped break the hold!Next version, arcing heat burns thru the hand and severs the link!!I'm glad he is going to recover!!Higher voltage instances tend to do long term muscle damage between the two points of contact!!PM me!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Pedal Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 OMG! That's aweful. I hope he recovers well from it. Man, oh, man. You can never have enough respect for electricity. It's hard to believe Europe uses 220 everywhere in the house.Best of luck.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
