Can you point me to the page and paragraph in the National Electrical Code where it says such a thing is illegal? Because I can’t find it in my copy. :-) But your point is taken, and I could see how, as a “long time electric utility worker,” you would be sensitized to the issue. Please understand that, as an electrical engineer, I am EXTREMELY careful with such things. I apologize if I seemed glib or flippant about it, and I would discourage anyone from doing such a thing unless they are absolutely sure of their knowledge and procedures. But on the other hand, most people manage to control some 200 explosions per second, totalling some 100 kilojoules of energy, while guiding a megagram or two over some 30 metres with a precision of some ten centimetres or so — sometimes continuously for 8-12 hours, all while only killing themselves and others some 30,000 times a year! On the grand scheme of things, I think you’re overreacting a bit, but I do understand your perspective — flaggers tend to die more from traffic than drivers do. So folks, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! Please don’t electrocute Jim! de N7JDB _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
