    What's your take on this 1000V doesn't conduct theroy?

    I don't think I'm going to test it. To many variables! I wouldn't throw it over my drop coming into my house.

    It's questionable. BUT, if the paracord had sweat on it, water on it, mud on it, etc., it's conductivity goes up. Technically, paracord is made of polyester fibers, which are generally considered "non-conductive", but I wouldn't test it with my life. It takes as little as 10 milliamps (0.01 amps) to cause cardiac fibrillation, and death. I'll take a pass.

    You did it w 1069 vDC an micro amps of power and alluded to the idea that AC and DC react the same, It does not. I can send you the math and the over arching issues of go get a heavy duty welder tht can get up to 400 volts DC at significant amperage and a 400VAC line and try it.


    I suggest wearing outer wear and a face shield.
