Electrical Shock

Electrician tinkers with death as he inserts a metalic rod into a live 208 volt electrical conduit. What a dumbass! Who ever instructed him to do that is a real jerk!

Hmmm... live circuit, ungrounded piece of metal, full body contact with earth.... sounds like a candidate for an electrical shock or death.

[Megatron6669]

There was no full body contact with the earth, and the peice of metal was being grounded against the re-bar, therefor he was safe from electrical shock (not so much from the arc flashes, but in this case they were small).

As others have said its very dangerous, i on the other hand also think its very unprofessional. Its people like you who give genuine tradesmen the "rouge trader" stereotype. I wonder what your governing body would make of your safe isolation skills. 1 word sums it up.....cowboy.

Thank you.

never play with electricity i kills ya suddenly my couzin died xactly like tht

mabeez hez did nt noz whtz he doinz

Communist union crybabies who's rather bitch and moan like little girls than earn their living like men. The 1:12 was probably the longest they'd ever worked in their lives.

@deanodean123 If you can't identify the circuit, it's better to trip it under your control then to try to work on it hot... imo

This bloke with the camera giving directions is an absolute f&^$witt!!!!

Does anyone have a Fluke meter in your local?...and if you're not in the union...well that explains it.

how do figure concrete is 500,000 to 1.5 million ohms dry....

[croakerchoker504]

what an asshole..

[russdonruss]

How can the voltage go up? The voltage from the transformer is 120/208V, as stated above. That means that if the short is between one phase and ground it will be 120V; if the short is between 2 or 3 phases to ground it will be 208V. The AIC rating of the circuit breaker determines how much amperage it will allow to pass in a short circuit to ground--usually 10,000A.. So at most it was a 208V/10,000A short circuit flash.

wow and to try and justify the action. Incredible.
