Oh no .. going to be massive demonstrations in the streets demanding civil rights for cylinders now too!
Do cylinders propagate COVID?
Do cylindrical lives matter?
Times change alright. Push a bit harder sonny & you'll trip the ELCBQuote:

He said afterwards he had done that ‘experiment’ dozens of times, he’d even tested the ELCB before hand to make sure it was functioning correctly
Moral of the story
Just because you have a “safety switch” and even if it’s tested regularly, it doesn’t mean it’s going to save you when you need it to

Didn’t need the rubber soled shoes, he had the earth between his fingers to avoid the the risk of zapping his heartQuote:

From recent events there will only be a slave cylinders matter movement that will initiate the changing of the name of master cylinders.Quote:

Cripes! ELCBs, RCDs were before my time to **** around with & were not used in A/C especially if there was a Crankcase Heater or any other resistive component involved. Also, most A/cs drew too much Start current for those to be satisfactory. Same as you can't use them on Stoves as there is always a leakage from elements which can knock them out.
Could he explain it him being the Instructor? I bet he started with words "Oh ****...."
As my old Instructor would have said in those circumstances while dragging on a shaking butt " I've pulled a ****ter".

All domestic final sub circuits have to have RCD protection nowQuote:

I tell them “good luck in court if someone does get a tingle and it’s not protected”[emoji12]
