Request re Inspector Training [RE-wrenches]

[Matt Tritt]

So you're the one!

This possibility, albeit remote, is why we zip-tie all our connections
together in a tight loop; you have to cut the ties to be able to get a
grip in each side of the connector. I figure that if somone is
determined enough to damage themselves and/or equipment they'll
eventually find a way no matter how nifty you make it. Maybe some good
signs with skull and cross-bones saying something like DANGER! MESS WITH
THIS STUFF AND FRY!

accessible to the general public; like fenced areas on private property
for instance.

I agree that it is common sense, and I do appreciate that installers may
need to do this sometimes, and that such a job shouldn't be failed
unless it's illegal.

My problem is, I just can't help but put myself back into the mindset of
being 10 years old again. If I had access to one of these arrays back
then, I just might try to light my firecrackers off the arc I'd figure
out I could pull from a disconnected MC-type plug connection. Why would
I figure this out, because the label said "Do not disconnect under
load", why else?

Of course, who knows where my career would have gone from there! ;)
