DC ought not to kill me. I'm going to try to drag the wire across the tree branches with a gripper (used to pick up things from the floor). If y'all don't hear from me tomorrow you will know what happened. LOL
Interesting. I looked it up. 48 up to 90 volts DC. Might affect a pacemaker. Slightly different than our old field phones in the Army. I think the handcrank generated around 120 volts. It certainly let you know if someone tried using them while you were splicing a break....

through. But that's usually when you're working with bare wires.

That's true, but in practice it's never a good idea to fool around
with wires.

Yes, I'm aware. I've often worked on live wires, switching out plugs or switches or other fixtures or equipment. It's very possible to do it safely, but still not generally a good idea.A you know, it's not the voltage that kills, it's the amperage. ISlightly different than our old field phones in

had an electrical tech in my shop to work on replacing the
ballasts of the overhead lights. He worked completely with the
live wires - and thus not needing to disrupt the normal lighting
required when customers were around.
