[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 15362, member: 162"] Re: What Happens if... Long ago in my padawan days I got shocked by touching the white wire. I was troubleshooting a problem in my house (wire slipped out of a wire nut), and some device was plugged into the circuit in question. The loose wire was on the return path (white), so I assumed I was OK to work on the circuit live (stupid ASSumption), and when I was sticking the wire back in the nut, I completed the circuit with my fingers. That was the last time I assumed anything about electricity. I now carry a non-contact tester, VOM, and occasionally 1K par can to any questionable electrical situation. [/QUOTE]
