23KV!!!!! Holy defecation!!!! I spent 20 years as an ET (that’s electronics tech for you landlubbers) and never hit that!!! Worst I ever got was 325 VDC from a radio. Was aligning it, and supposed to be using a plastic tool. I had been up all night and was exhausted. Picked up a metal screwdriver (tweeker) and stuck it in there. Burned thumb and index finger where I was holding the tweeker, and the side of my hand that was on the chassis of the radio.

FT/G for me.

Thank God I was holding an INSULATED screwdriver...

The idiot got an official reprimand in his record! I got to see the Corpseman (zero style) and get little bottles of Brandy! I slept good after the third one...
