Arc Flash

[electric-ed]

Twh,
When you mentioned "eyebrows" it reminded me of an incident that happened to me back in the mid-sixties.

I was working on a live motor starter in a dimly-lit electrical room, with my face up close, trying to see what I was doing.
Suddenly, the screwdriver slipped, shorted a live terminal to the box.

I was lucky, and can still see. I lost 2 inches off the end of my favorite "skinny" screwdriver, and actually had bits of metal stuck in my eyebrows.

Thanks, it has been a good move!

The bits of metal stuck in your eyebrows would probably be considered "cool" by today's standards. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Seriously through, I guess most of us have had a "flash" or two and its no fun!!
