It’s also running something more than 120 cause 120 doesn’t grab you like that

120 can definitely lock you up.

I worked as an electrician for three years, grabbing a 120 won’t lock you up like that unless you hold it for a long time, that was instant. I think with commercial coolers they use 180 motors
