Had a close call like that: Checking voltage in a panel and I didn't notice the home-owner walk up behind me. I heard him ask: "What's this funny shaped part?" And before I could open my mouth he reached past me and poked the energized bus with his finger.

After he recovered I just looked at him and asked: "Do I really need to tell you why you should never to do that again?"

Let's not go there again?!
I thought this site was for Professional Electricians.
Could we please have a stop to these DIY threads?.

I just came back from Solfest 2005 in Hopland, CA. I stopped by the tent of one of the major manufacturers of solar power inverters. They had a 7,200 watt inverter/charger setup opened up on a table for people to look at. I was closely examining it, looking at the bus bars for hooking up the 240 VAC wiring, the connections for the DC wiring.

I then noticed that the LEDs on the inverter were lit up.

Said the salesman, "Oh, yah... This thing's live." [Linked Image]
