Ralph,

This person was lucky enough to survive, I guess. he's not exactly the "sharpest knife in the drawer" and maybe that is what protects him from getting that fatal dose.

Anything and everything electrical is fried  and I MEAN fried in the whole rig,,, its already gutted, but melted wire is still dangling, and converter/inverter,, well its a nice blob of plastic and metal,,lol

Good morning, Daniel Long; 

This employee a few years back.  Did the circuit breaker do its job in time?  Is he still alive?  Was he making this admission to you from his hospital bed? 

And I guess we should also ask if both his battery and the rest of the vehicle electrical system, including the starter, actually survived being treated to a dose of 120 V AC being applied to the nominal 12 V DC electrical system? 

Enjoy;     Ralph, Latté Land, Washington
