Dude i don't want to get into an argument,but let's be honest , is not the truth ! unless you work with some new type of current flow maybe wireless ? LOL "sorry for the joke
"
240V is rarely fatal you say ? Dead people do not complain,you might get 10 electrical shocks and live "these people are lucky if they are not burned or have loss of feelings due to nerve damage or even have heart damage , but you will only ever get one electrocution,as dead people do not complain"
You have to work really hard to kill yourself on 240V you say?Seriously touch 100amps at 240 volt to earth or neutral and see what happens! or jam a screw driver in a single phase high current board and see what sort of prospective fault current comes through, and let me know will you ?
"seriously do not do that !"
seriously unlucky Well this is pretty simple there is no luck, just Do not work a live circuit!"really, you only get once chance with electricity "
You might think, i have posted to get all argumentative or cause trouble, the fact is i did not intend to do this , all i wanted to say is that your comment makes out that ,it is ok to work on 240 volt and is pretty safe "when really, it is not and that is the truth !" I am sorry if i have offened you in anyway what so ever , but a comment like that is very dangerous to some people.As they say "A person with a little knowledge about electricity is more dangerous than a person without that knowledge of electricity" simply someone who knows nothing about it ,will not be so enthusiatisic to play with it.
P.S there is some pretty good info on this site , and i am off to read some of it.
