I'm sorry it's taking so long to respond to you but Tony (my husband) was hurt pretty bad today and is still in the ER. I promise to get some answers for you by tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Sorry to hear that.
Don't worry about the business right now. Make sure Tony doesn't either. I sure hope it isn't real serious. I will be praying for you guys! Keep us posted when you have time. He has lot's of friends on here that will be concerned about him!

Thank you all so much. I will be just fine in a couple of day's.
My lab chewed through the thermostat wires to the a.c. unit. I thought how hard could this be to fix?
I tripped the breaker,pulled the fuse's and went to work on the wires. Did you guy's know that the capacitor in an a.c. unit store's 250,000 volts? Well i do , At least i do now after my elbo touched the the terminals. I think i'll stick to 3.2 to 4.8 volts from now on. Blew a nice size hole in my knuckle . My dogs think i'm a wizzard , able to shoot fire from my fingers.
So, first thing in the a.m. after the a.c. guy fix's the wire's it will be back to business. I will be out of work for a couple of day's.
I just want to say thanks again for all the post's, P.M.'s and emails.
It just hit me, Vaper's , We really are family.

Well it is great to hear you are going to be okay! No I didn't know that they had a capacitor that stored 250,000 volts. It must have been a real shock when you found out! lol I knew televisons did but never crossed my mind about an AC unit. I will definately remember that. Really glad you are still with us! A person never knows when our last day on earth might be!
Tony, very glad you are okay. Hang loose & get well.
Same here, I knew about TV capacitors, but not A/C units. Perhaps we should all tuck this one away in our brains.

I figured the joke's would start when you guy's found out i will be ok. That's cool , let them fly , I can take it.
LAX , your banner kinda brings back bad memories.

Well in that case, let's go...
Based on your experience, would you say the 250,000 volts was true, or regulated?
My knuckle with a chunk missing indicates that this unit is unregulated
You're a good sport Tony. And a tough SOB. You might want to warn your wife however. When I was electrocuted a few years back, Mr Happy was extra playful for several weeks afterwards.

Glad your OK Tony! I just found out....I did the same thing a few years ago...leaned onto a capacitor. Burnt the heck out of my shoulder and blew a dime size hole out of the first knuckle on my thumb. It was exciting to say the least...My chest hurt like hell for a week. Way worse than my shoulder and hand.
