Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations ELECTROFISHING

I try to be very careful with electricity.

When I hooked up the farm to our 400 Amp service box, my wife walked passed and asked her father why he was just standing around holding an 8 foot 2"x4". He told her it was to try and pry me out of the box if I made a mistake. She thought about it a while, turned kind of white, and said 400 amps was a lot.

I should have kept my mouth shut (imagine that), but I told her that if I got shocked on the supply side of the fuses, it'd more likely be a few thousand amps - whatever it took to melt the line coming down the driveway on the power poles. At least my father-in-law got a chuckle out of it. All I got was one of those looks...
