Yeah no thanks. I work in an electrical based industry and I can tell you for a fact that you don’t want 240v at 100 to 200 amps for even a second.

I yelled at a tech the other day for not wearing hot gloves when working on a set of taps in a MSP.

I don’t NEED to wear safety gloves because I’M Homer Simps

  I almost forgot about this scene. I should play this at our next safety meeting 🤣

Where in the hell are you at that 200 amperage wall outlets are the norm?? In 99% of US homes outlets are 110v 15a which is enough to put you on your ass but certainly won’t kill you without prolong exposure or preexisting health factors

  Almost as if places outside of the US exist. Like the EU where the voltage is 230 volts in homes.

    I sure hope you guys are pushing that with 200 amps, too

A human body wouldn’t conduct that much current with mains voltage. It’s just too high resistance.

Also pretty sure they mean breakers with GFCI. If they just mean regular circuit breakers then yeah they are fucked.

  Lmao it will definitely conduct enough to stop your heart if you’re well grounded. In this case these morons are likely ok because they’re in an aboveground rubber pool. If they were in an in ground pool with a nice metal drain or copper pipes for the water supply, they would be conducting just dandy if they stood in the wrong place.

    Yeah you were talking about 100s of Amps. A human body won’t conduct that without a lot of voltage/potential difference. You don’t even need 1 amp to kill you though.
    
    Yeah if there is exposed and grounded pipe work present that changes things somewhat. The lowest resistance path is probably still back through the same power strip the electric came from through, as water isn’t the best conductor out there.
