[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4018396, member: 5412"] Spent my entire career working in high voltage equipment and distribution systems. Mainly 480V three phase, but occasionally up to 60,000 volt electron beam welder systems while in the industrial manufacturing business. Later on at the Sooner Power plant for OG&E that was elevated to 365,000 volts. The higher voltages require an incredible amount of safety protocols to work on them. They can reach out a long way and touch you with a disastrous ending. We never had any issues but watching some safety videos at meetings of folks that didn't follow those safety rules, we saw what could happen to the human body at those voltages. It wasn't pretty.
