Tangle with volt, electrifying one's greeting (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mazel tov

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'electrifying one's greeting' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'tangle with volt' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'tangle' could be 'maze' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'maze' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'volt' is 'ltov' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mazel tov that I've seen is " best wishes".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
