It happened so fast-
I went to work this morning just like i do every work morning and when i got there the main air compressor wouldn't come on like it was suppose too.So i told my boss and he try ed to call someone and they said they would try to come to the dealer as soon as they could,well that wasn't quick enough for me so i thought that i can check it my self so i went and got my fluke meter and went to the compressor room-and took the cover off that exposed the wires coming from the circuit box to the compressor and grabbed the meter leads and went to test to see if i had any 220 volts well when i put the leads on the wire there was a loud pop and smoke and the lights went out and i fell back and immediate i was freaked out, I am in big trouble. Because what i found later was that when that happened it blew the main circuit breaker to the whole dealership.;-I got up and walked out to my car and sat down in it. I started to freak because i could have been killed and all that would have happened after that with my family and everyone else.
Well after i sat out there for about ten minutes i walked back into the dealership and they were asking what i had had done to make the lights go out not knowing the severity of the situation so i went in to my boss's office and sat down and told him what i had just done well he didn't understand all that had happened, he just knew that an electrician had been called and we would go from there-
an eletrician showed up in about a half hour later and asked what had happened so i told him the compressor wouldn't come and that i got my meter and show him how i ck ed it. Well its not 220 like i thought it is 480 volts, and that i have to ck it differently What i had done was short my meter across the two wires-and i was told that i was lucky to be still alive.I know that i am a son of God and there is no such thing as luck.also my meter still works .when i shorted the wires it blew the other breakers so he just flipped them back on . He figured out what was wrong with the compressor, some switching valve that wasn't working. So when i came home at lunch and told my wife we both cried a little with gratatude that it wasn't my time and to thank the Lord for keeping me safe-
when i got back to work from lunch i was talking to a guy and he said that he saw the fuse panel that had been checking and said it was like a blanket, or a wall was there, because when i shorted the wires the blast went away from me instead of towards me.
