I usually work with 4160vac but sometimes up to 13.8 and on rare occasions 33kV, up to 1,200 amps. Always have stayed scared of it, even two years after I started working with power systems. The Old Hands tell me when you quit being scared that trouble is just around the corner.

Since I started my own business, it's been mostly high end residential, with some commercial (stores,delis) thrown in to stay sharp. I did most of my "mechanic" work in IBM facilities in upper downstate NY (Fishkill, Poughkeepsie, Kingston). Except for switch gear and transformer work, 480V is where I topped out at. I would rather give the job to someone a lot more experienced with currents over 600V than "try" it myself.
I guess the most voltage I ever "worked" with was 41,600V. I spent 3 years working in the nuclear industry, albeit as an HP tech, so I mostly watched the big boys do their thing and keep them from glowing--Radiologically.
