The company that I retired from used 7620 volts as a primary feed. I have worked on other systems that used up to 13,200 and 19,900. Any of these will set wood, metal, dirt, ect ect on fire. Copper theft was a real problem 5 or 6 years ago. China was buying our scrap at alarming rates and just about all scrap values went way up. Copper, steel, aluminum, you name it. I caught one thief in the act, right before I retired. LE arrested him and I had to stay and repair the damage that he did. He was home that night before I was! He got a year of probation! I never found any burned bodies thankfully but I did find some things that would have been a close call for the thieves. And some dangerous stuff left behind. I also added some nice tools to my tool box! Things like 12 and 15 inch Crescent wrenches and large box end wrenches attached to ropes hanging on our lines. Also stolen no doubt!
Goes hand in hand with those illegal gasoline pipeline taps in Mexico gone wrong.
Greed and low intelligence combined will cure ya.
This reminds me of an entrepreneurial young Mex some years back in Sioux City. Thought he'd brew up some meth and make some bank. He was found the morning after laying flat on his back with a cordless drill drilling up into a farmers anhydrous ammonia tank. Sorry, no pics but I"m sure you can imagine, NH3 is pretty nasty stuff. That'll teach him.

I always thought an Oscar Mayer tasted a little different when cooked on one of these. Electrocution does make for a slightly different flavor (based on my experiences with the Hot Dogger alone. )
I made one of these from instructions in a science book when I was a kid. Just cooked one hot dog on two nails driven through a rectangle of plywood. I don't remember having any trouble with it, but my older brother made me break it up. Later, in the Army, I made one from two stainless steel forks from the mess hall. It worked great in the barracks, but I got to thinking about chromium ions maybe migrating through the hot dog and getting left stranded there. Maybe that would be DC?
