I was just wondering how that situation was with everyone. Due to so many being home-electricians, there has to be some fun stories to tell. Please do share. I'd love to hear those stories.
You know, since it's never on purpose to get an electric shock (Unless you're some kind of masochist, I guess), there's allways something interesting to tell about how and why you got yours.
Also the feeling. I haven't heard too many diffrent descriptions, but I've heard a couple. I guess it's only a matter of how someone are at explainging stuff. But if you don't mind, please try to share how it feels to you too.
And you know. Others might learn from you bad luck too =P
Now I'll start with my first hand-to-hand electric shock. It was when I was working on a lamp with the power on. We couldn't turn it off, due to the circuit having EDB that was too important to be shut off. So I were disconnecting the wires, and were trying to pull them out of the lamp. So I was holding the lamp, as I pulled the cable out. Accidently I touched one of the wires, wich resultet in the shock. It was from phase to ground, though. And 220V, so nothing major. I just remembered feeling the electricity going from my middle finger on the left hand, up through my arm, shoulder adn neck. To then go down the other arm, wrist and then out through my thumb. Since that was my first shock, it was very scary. I was sure I had some kind of permanent damage.
Now that was luckily not the case. I also remember my arm shaking quite a bit when getting this shock.
Even though it was not very painfull, I really don't recomend it =P You know, you feel your heart rate go up about a million, and you're breathing quite heavily. At least I was.
I've also had quite a couple of lamp-holder-incidents. Wich is .. Tickly at the most =P
Do you have anything. I'd love to hear it =D
