Well, we shut down switch gear today and they made me "touch the 2,700"

I can top that. [Linked Image] I got to don all the appropriate PPE and touch a live 12,000v lug in a padmount switch. [Linked Image]

The sensation was quite odd, and it gave me an even higher respect for the POCO linemen!!

Of course, that doesn't count getting bit by the xenon lamp ignitor in a projector once. (50kv, very high frequency and I'd say a few milliamps.) My hand was numb for most of the day. [Linked Image]
