Got electrocuted at the LFS i work at.. :(

[Druu]

Rare cichlids you can contact OSHA anomynousely. If you get fired because of the incedent you would then have grounds for a lawsuit.



Druu do you ever read and comprehend.Would you please point out where I stated that V and A are the same thing. My statement was a reply to At that voltage it only takes as little as 3 milliamps to stop your heart.

I'm not gonna discuss electrical theory with you becaue of your statements above you obviously have no clue what your talking about. My advise to you is stay away from all electricity. Even the low voltage, high amperage system in your car, because as you put it

Electrical theory? This is basic high school physics- surely even you have taken that. http://www.amasci.com/emotor/voltmeas.html
High voltage does not always mean sufficient amperes to fibrillate one's heart as you seem to imply.
V = I * R [voltage= current * resistance] [volts = amps * ohms]
A huge amount of voltage, running through a conductor of high resistance will deliver a smaller amount of current.

This is the best you can do? A link to STATIC electricity

I did not imply any voltage, that was a given at 240volts, I only stated that 3 millianps at that voltage is enough to kill a person.

Give it up Druu, you have no clue, If you would like to learn, best bet is reseach Ohm's law and then go from there. Now remember your the guy who thinks a 40G breeder tank only weighs 10 pounds, right?

Holy **** dude! glad to hear ur ok though!!!

Read post 8 on this thread. You quote a member that says that 240 volts is insufficient to kill you then say that 30ma is sufficient to kill you. Clear implication.

your right, I bow down to your far superior intellegence

I have not explerienced that type of shock, but at the LFS where i work, we get the odd tiny shock from the salt tanks due to the corrosion, we isolate and replace the unit, and then check, but our shocks feel like a buzz, nothing more.
Can't say it happens on the FW side though...
Glad to here your ok though.
But i would definatly get the units sorted, ask your boss if you can swap the units over to the sealed screw on types, these units have the added benifit of being waterproof and i have never had one fall off.
Just glad my boss lets me change what i please to keep everything safe.

any update on this situation from the original poster? just curious as to if they did anything ....

 

[Rare_Cichlids]

still the owner has not done anything... neather have I... I'm going to remind him next time i work, and see what he says/does.

 

[navygirl76]

yeah he WONT do anything until you press it and make him act on it..
