Thanks, pauluk...so you're saying that when the megger runs into a dead short, the dead short is the path of least resistance, and I won't soak up much current?

And you're saying that my body's resistance creates an amp load which burns me?

This means that even if there is no amp load downhill from me, if I grab a hot lead my body will then pull an amp load which would vary depending on how much meat and bone it was going through?

In other words, my body would be like a light bulb, consuming energy?

DO TELL! Is it like that joke with the game warden? Makes me wonder...what is the depth range of a 1000v megger with a DeWalt 18v drill (3rd gear) driving it? I guess you could just motor around the lake with the drill running the megger, dragging a net behind...
