[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 700240, member: 1682"] I am not sure that anything will happen. I recently helped my neighbor work out the kinks in his electric fence. Put a better ground system and some clamps in. Then I started checking the lines dedicated to one energizer (he has two). Energizer off. Go checking line and find a major fault, touching page wire. Go to move e-wire, so far so good. Happen to touch the page wire at the same time and get a little jolt in my hand. Passed it off as a cramp and kept working with the e-wire. Then, holding the wire and touching a rebar e-fence post, get a sharper pain. Now I start wondering why my hand is cramping so bad. Neighbour comes along to check what is taking so long. I explain the situation....and then he laughs and remembers that the two energizers are probably linked by a line in the back 40! So while one was shut off, I was still getting fried by the other one. :roll: He had been running both that way for a few weeks, so I suppose it won't blow up if you forget to unhook your lines.
