While am not an electrician, I am an electronic engineer and the chance of her cage being charged is slim. The cage would have to be in direct contact with a open line/circuit. Also, I think you would feel the current flow when you touch the metal yourself, but you test for it by using a voltmeter. They are pretty cheap from Sears (~$20), just touch the cage and a ground point in your house. The reading should be 0 volts or floating ( meaning the numbers will be "bouncing" around).
If you not comfortable doing this, find someone who is.
It takes less that .5 amps of current to cause DEATH. |
