you could do the grunt work yourself , dig trench , cut a wall whatever then should only take a short time for the sparky to wire things up. |

lol. It's only 240v and with RCDs and such you can't usually get much worse than a bit of kick  I will get a Jaycar box with a few cable glands eventually. Best way would be to mount a terminal block in the box and cut the plugs off, much neater and smaller. Just match the colours up

I've had plenty of shocks from mains in my job, but this was scary, I couldn't let go of the cable, muscle spasms and all that. The live wire burned a 5mm hole in my thumb. Thankfully the spasms shook the cable loose, or I probably wouldn't be here now. It was nasty. |

no RCD or earth leakage ? I had a similar event, not as bad. I picked up a melted jug cord and didnt realise the end was melted away from the terminals (didn't have the heat proof one for my still My right hand closed over it and I couldn't let go, my whole right arm was locked rigid, my reaction was to rip the cord from my hand with my left arm and throw it. Was in an old busted house with wire fuses and not protection devices at all. Technology sure makes our lives better and safer Don't know what would have happend if both arms were getting zapped...try to fall backwards ? this was inside, concrete floor. I think the current path was just through my hand.. |
