Things that can shock you daily.

I am assuming this picture was taken just before the fellow got bloodied. Giving the finger here is really "just not done".
Having pepper spray hanging on your shirt does indicate "your spoiling for a scrap". It looks like he got to taste his own medicine.
He got off lucky IMO.

 

The person in the picture is a Canadian. There is apparently more to the story than posted on the Local Dumaguete Facebook.

 

Looks like the foreigner was gunning for trouble.

 

I thought that only happened to my outside light, turns to a dull glow when switched off...

I have 2x PC's that have died on me here and both shocked you if you touched any metal like the case or when switching the USB Thumb Drives/USB Cables etc...

 

The issue is caused by the missing ground wire. Had a similar issue once in Vietnam. Every time I touched a PC I got a quite hard electrical strike. I did metered the voltage from the case to the ground and got a steady flow of 6V and 1A. If metering after a wait, the voltage goes up to 220V. Quite dangerous. I solved this with the installment of a deep grounding pole and connected all ground wires to it.

 

That is the strange part, we had an Electrician install an Earth Wire (like a small Battery Cable, maybe 5mm+ copper core!) to a Copper Rod (around 20mm diameter) that is driven into the ground around 1 meter, then covered over by our garden which is watered morning and afternoon so the ground (sand) is always wet, I would have thought that would have done the trick but no so...

 

Check if your ground wire is attached well to your ground pole. Check also the resistance value in Ohm between the ground pin in your outlets and your ground pole. Yeah that metering is a difficult one. You need a multimeter with resistance metering and a long wire. The wire do you plug into the ground pin of your outlet. The other end of the wire ends where your ground pole is but don't connect it to the pole. Now switch the multimeter to resistance metering. Then hold the multimeter black pin to the wire and the red one to the ground pole. If the value on the multimeter is very high, infinite, just dashes (-) or no value at all then the line must have an interruption.

 

Hmmm....I was just talking with someone about something like that. An outdoor light blinks when the switch is off. I've read about lighted switches causing this. What if the switch is on the neutral side of the line, then the socket is always hot, so anything that might ground the socket could cause this effect. Definitely makes you go hmmm......

 

It looked to have had a Tab Silver-Soldered onto the Pole then the Wire was soldered to a connection which was screwed to the tab. I am hoping to have a "Qualified" Electrician do our next place with Fuses etc unlike how Papa has had his house wired here, shocking to see what is approved here compared to back in Oz
