Evening Tony,
I think it is highly irresponsible of you to be encouraging
inexperienced people to work with relatively high voltage.
Did I do that? Telling about my experiences does not encourage one to
do it, unless it suits his fancy.
Likely you and others are thinking wrong.
First, I have offered no instructions or guidelines for connecting anything
into a phone system, connecting phone terminal blocks, any type wiring or
any interconnection at all.
People are already working with these same voltages anytime they touch,
move, dial or talk on a hard wired telephone. This telephone line gadget
connects with the exact same cable, cord, and plug as any standard telephone.
If one chooses to plug into the phone system, then play around with the
wires, alligator clips, and electrodes, the possibility of being shocked
does exist. However, it will not be AC, it will be DC.
The output is DC if you input DC. The output is DC, even if you input
AC. There is no polarity problem no matter what polarity is input. The
output is the same and correct, Red is Positive, Black is negative.
Some mathematical odds enter in. Remember the definition of an accident
is "A conflict of Time".
If you worked at this 24 hours per day, and get 100 phone calls per day, it
may still take a few years for you to feel the thrill of 90 VAC or 90 VDC.
Believe me, I have worked with many phone systems, phone gadgets,
interconnection of alarm dialers, modems, ...... you name it.
Only once was I troubleshooting phone wires at my shop when some fool
called me 100 times in 15 minutes. Yes, I was shocked many times. Each
time, I was trying to decide which friend wanted to irritate me that day.
Never before or never again have I had that happen. At this time, I was
working with 4 lines, had wires off terminal blocks and actually testing
those wires.
Yes, I sell and install phone systems too.
You have vast experience and are also a major hero in many ways. Most
people are not in your category.
Telephones and Elevators have a proven safety record. It any hazard
existed by now, someone would have found a way to execute it, don't you agree?
I appreciate your concern for our brother list members. I share the
same concern, yet I posted no warnings relative to working with telephone
terminal blocks and standard telephone patch cords.
IF further warnings and cautions are needed, some our list members, the
"Real Engineers" will tell us about it, I trust.
