I was pressure washing a garage and hit the power line. I was on a ladder. It fucked me up for a second but didn’t blow me off the ladder or anything. Froze me for a cpl seconds.
I took some volts. At least 120.

Bear in mind the current rating isn't necessarily what current passes though you...the body has resistance like a lot of stuff does. You put 500A on dry skin it's not going to be 500a passing through your body...and simply because a line has the potential to carry 500a, doesn't mean that's what is delivered to you...resistance again...Glass for example would carry 0a of that 500a.
Also high amp power lines come in as 600v. Spectral is a fucking idiot. I studied these thing and Spectral is a roofer.

The current ran throughout my entire body and limbs, right down to my individual fingers and toes. It literally engulfed every inch of my body. And the feeling I can only describe as a sinking, sickening, nauseating feeling, kind of like a feeling of complete resignation. You almost feel as if you want to just go ahead and surrender to it, and it takes a significant amount of force of will to reject and battle past all those feelings you get. I remember that as the worst part of the experience, locked on there for a full five seconds. And the physical feeling was also kind of like waves stemming up from the point of contact, and it was like my hand was literally cemented onto the wire, like Crazy Glue.

What application was this singular 500amp 240v wire being used for???
there isnt such thing as 500A anywhere unless your work9ng in hardcore power station or smelting or a foundry.

The heaviest thing I ever worked on was 480 volts on the roof of a commercial building. I think it was a mall.
