| Just be careful that you're not under the line if it breaks. I know ours rocks some lines pretty hard. Did have to reset the stops so it didn't wet down the transformer on one of the poles. If you happen to set the gun to come on just a few feet too soon and are close when it hits the transformer for the first time you WILL remember it.
Also had lightning come through a metal roof and went down the well, blew the end off a 20 hp submersible. Dropped a new one in, new wiring, everything above ground looked good. Shut the door to the box and hit the starter, contacts engaged fine, hit the stop and opened the door to put a probe on to check the amps, hit the starter again and it threw a dead short on a 125kw 480v 3 phase generator. Flames came out of the box and electrician standing in front if it had no eyebrows, no hair flipping up outside of his ears and his shirt was stiff as a board.
Conclusion was the lightning had left a carbon trail on the bakelite to ground and the second surge of the starter was enough to cause it to jump to the carbon trail.
All we had to do the rest of the afternoon was come up behind anyone who was there and make any kind of a loud noise and they were off like a shot. Laughed so hard we cried the first time, but we were lucky no one got hurt.
