But the capacitors in each can hold a charge for a few minutes, and its enough to do the dirty deed on you. Capacitors are supposed to be designed to bleed off voltage in less than 5 minutes, but there are cases where they have held a charge for a year or more. Dont ask me how, but i know people who have had the crap knocked out of them from caps that have been in storage on a shelf. It only takes .050 amps to kill you. xponent The Electrician Maru rob
