If there is enough voltage to give a 'strong shock', there is far more than enough to pass shield current sufficient to burn the cable up. Ground potential differences are typically sources with milliohm internal impedances. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
