Hi Joe,

Excellent information useful to every home inspector.

During my past life when I worked in the hvac industry for 15 years I did mange to become part of live circuit. On one occasion I was working with the service manage in a commercial build and became involved with a lighting circuit powered by 277v leg of a 3 phase system. I merely brushed an exposed wire with the end of a finger. It felt like I had been kicked in my entire arm by a horse.

I have a very healthy respect for electricity.

Best regards,



Thank you and I hope others feel the same was.
