You haven't lived until you've been 'bit' by a leaky 440v shore power cable.

It's not as pleasant as the Dentine tingle.

Is that survivable? You’re lucky to be alive.

You electrical wizzes are reminding me why I’ve always been a “no finger rings” guy in any kind of working ewnvironment. Rings, in my world, are just for taking pictures. We had a tech working on one of the ships some years ago. He reached behind a power panel and his wedding ring touched a live lug, welded to it, and killed him on the spot.

And that’s just one of the ring disasters I’ve been close to. In , or anywhere near, my shop, is a no loose metal of any sort, zone.
