First electric shock

[Chrisuk]

Some of the regulars will know I'm in training...slightly confused...all day today I've been sleeving the cpc because none at all had any on and putting connector blocks in choc blocks..15mins before leaving I have my head above the ceiling...power on since where we are working are open and they don't want a third of the store in darkness from killing the mcb.

Had the connector block between finger and thumb..carefully putting it the choc block when I heard it cracking..was tightening the screws when I got a belt.

So I'm thinking could it arc...I didn't see anything...just felt it.....or Is it more likely I just had a brain fart and my thumb touched some exposed conductor?

Least I know the rcd kicks in fast

I got to ask Chris, what's that in your avatar? If it's some kinda Rorschach Test I think I failed because the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was 'G-string'

 

[Chrisuk]

I think he's got the message now!
No drama about the lights being off in the end.

I know mate I agree maybe time to shut it down, as it will keep going round and round

Good poster though.
Maybe he should get an A1 print done and leave it on his bosses desk.

In one of my posts I said I'd spoke to a couple of electricians that said putting a connector block in a choc box can be done live...

Screw them and what they say, if the circuit is dead there is no way it can hurt you. If it's live it can. It really is that simple.
There will be times in your career when you will have no choice but to work live but by that time you will have been given the appropriate training to enable you to do so. That is not "Get yourself up the ladder son and just hold the plastic bit"

Now. Since he's had his legs smacked (metaphorically) and now that he knows he's working with an idiot, now that he knows where the mistake was made (not with him because he was only doing what he was told) can we all just revert to pointing, laughing, infantile name calling and vicious mick taking?

I like it so much better when we do that

I have to say the concern u guys show...any apprentice would be extremely lucky to work along side u
