This rings true so hard that it's almost spooky. The two main reasons I tend to avoid power electronics are because I hate getting electrocuted (this happened again just a week ago) and because I keep forgetting when you're supposed to multiply by the square root of three and when you're supposed to divide.
(Next week I'll be working with 40 amp relays and some heavy-gauge electrical wiring. Damn it! Is there no escape?)

I saw a large screwdriver shaft blown in half when my father thought the power was cut. I have managed to avoid getting any significant shocks in the thirty years since.
