People always tell me... "I couldn't do what you do, I hate getting shocked."

That’s where the magic blue smoke came out of that cabinet.

Sound like he had his turkey dinner already

And that's why grandma's power went out while trying to watch those Thanksgiving movies while every light was on in the house and nobody in the room.

“You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off…..”

Since it happened on thanksgiving day. I am thankful that nobody seems to have been injured. If someone did make an error. Then they get the rare chance to learn from it and not to make that error again. A substation tech I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with, engrained in me that if you can’t work smart you gotta be tough.

Burp, burnt rubber,and fuckin......... sounds like you would walk into a starter room with a chain dangling out from your biker wallet

Years ago I was working on a 415V 5kA motor speed controller, the guy that terminated it was known as not the best worker so as a joke I flipped the switch with a broom handle, turns out that joke may have saved my life as the switch room filled with molten copper spray.

I didn't get the official diognosis or anything, but If I had to guess, I would say, "I have no clue really because I was not the one that terminated any of the connections or torqued any of the terminations nor did I monitor the operations during the fuse replacement process. :-P I will tell you this. The one I did never had a problem, and I completely rebuilt it when it wasn't even necessary. Ha go figure!

Smells like my wedding night.

Electrical Engineer here, we call this an "oopsy woopsy fucky wucky" in technical literature.

Pretty classy. Pretty classy people.

I only recently learned about the horror of arc flash.

“Burnt Rubber and Ozone” - the smell of a fast-moving Sieve-ball.
