   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.

   1/2 inch is the core of wire to hold 500 amps...gauge 0000. You tend to have more than 1 wire...and then there is the insulation...that adds up to 2-4inch cable..aka the forearm of an OG NIS.
   
   What application was this singular 500amp 240v wire being used for???

   I have on accident on multiple occasions. It is nothing like you describe.

   Like I said, it was the power hub for the entire community center.

   Originally posted by -SpectraL Yeah, it happened. I was working on a fuse box for a community hall and was told the power was disconnected, but it was still active. I made direct contact with a 240v wire and my whole body turned to stone, literally. Took about a half hour to recover.

   
   canada, like america,is using the homosexual version of eletricity which means they only comes out at 110 volts strength only.

   Not at all. Both 110 and 240. Refrigerators and stoves and generators and many other appliances run on 240 in Canada.

   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.

    since you have a penchant for copy-pasting wikipedia, do you have a wiki copy-pasta to back your claim up ?

    I just went in the back and took this pic of 10awg 3 core power cord...as you can see it's about as thick as my manly finger...This 10awg power cord is rated to carry 30 Amps...

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

    You need to work on your aim, pecker head.. If you had taken some real shit, you'd be down for a few, or dead..
