I was working on a main panel reworking a feeder I think... not sure it was MANY moons ago...
But my linesman pliers slipped and slammed between the bus’s bar and the panel cabinet...
BOOM amazing how bright and loud a main short is...
Destroyed the pliers, and the panel...
And copper plated the lenses on my glasses... several pits in them from bits of molten metal.
eyes don’t grow back people... wear safety glasses.
And disconnect the line if you have to work in a panel.
