1, High voltage DC can be lethal. Why are you playing with it?
Because I enjoy it. I'm learning a lot and find it relaxing.
Driving my car to the shops can be lethal. Not one single Friend, relative or person known to me has died from being electrocuted.
Both my mother and brother were killed in car accidents and they are not the only people I have personally known to be taken away by that cause. While electrocution can happen no question, the thing most people wouldn't give a second thought to as against playing with high voltage has caused me significantly more grief.
And then there is my own position. I really don't care if I live or die. I don't want to be sick but I'm not worried If I do inadvertently off myself. If you think this is dangerous, you would not have wanted to be around about 18 months ago when I was really depressed and playing with my 3 phase induction motors. I had death mm away from me day after day and I figured what ever happened was meant to be. Still here so I figure I will be a while longer.
If there is one thing I absoloutley abhor it's over the top whining safety Sissy's. They can wrap themselves in cotton wool to their hearts content and I won't say a thing If they leave me to look after my own personal responsibility without their constant whining.
Funny really. Everyone worrys about people killing themselves but never take into account some people may not actually care.
2, Disconnecting a live high voltage array and creating an arc is going to ruin the contacts in the connectors.
Yes, I am aware of that and mentioned it here. Thanks for the heads up no matter how belated.
Soon as we get some sunshine again, I'm going to hook in my other 3 panels which should give me about Mid 300V. I want to shoot some vids of the arcing for my YT channel. I find it quite fascinating and I know my viewers will too. Normally it's just huge fires and molten metal I play around with but I think this will be something people will get a kick out of.... If I don't get a bigger kick first and never get to put it up! :0)
