ZXT 2,401 #6 Posted July 28, 2020 Being in the electrical field, I get to see stuff like this pretty often. Seen snakes shorted across phases, mice still attached to the wire they decided to chew on inside of a panel, etc. Lizards are probably the most common to find electrocuted. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,091 #7 Posted July 29, 2020 About 30 years ago I was in the control room at the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant (south of Miami) and we received an alarm that there was a problem in the switchyard. About ten seconds later the phone rang and the control tower at Miami International Airport was calling to find out what the explosion at the plant was. The electrical arc was visible for over 50 miles. Upon entering the switch yard we saw a pair of electrical bus bars (2" X 8" solid copper) were partly melted and the partial remains of what we presumed to be a large Racoon. Had to be a big one because the bus bars are 24" apart. 500,000 volts can make a mess of a racoon! 5 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
