I worked in this vault today for a couple of hours. Most everything was
live.
Do you know what the voltages were on the busbars, etc?

240 volts

We had some stuff at Washington University that looked like they dated
to the 1904 World's Fair, which they inherited some of the buildings
from. That live-front switchboard stuff ran 1040 V.

That would be a lot scarier than 240, as it can jump farther through
the air.
