How dangerous is electricity

Although we know electricity is the mot important to this world. Nothing is exist without electricity. But  Do we don't the dark side of electricity?. If you want to know,it going to be dangerous. Because electricity is a human killing machine that can burn you,me and everyone. So How dangerous is electricity? Lets look at it.

Electricity carries current proportional to the voltage. We always refer that voltage is dangerous,but actually current is the real culprit. For example you have a hair dryer with 240V with 5A. If short circuit or earth fault happen, the current will rise. If you accidentally hold the hair dryer, you will get shock,but not that harmful if you have healthy body. 

 Unhealthy body will cause muscle contraction,heart attack,cardiac arrest and death.

Electricity need conductor to travel one point to other point. As human we are also a conductor to. If you hold a wire with less current travel through your body, you will experience the current will reach your leg and grounded to the floor.

What happen if high voltage pass through your body? 

High voltage is very dangerous as we think. Air is a poor conductor,but its actually conduct electricity if the presence of high voltage is there like transmission line,service line and so on. If you hold a conductor without neutral, you will be less like get hit by electricity. If you hold conductor with neutral, you will get hit by electricity.

Getting hit by lightning and get hit by high voltage electricity is definitely same. In service line, if the live conductor carries more current, it will get short by neutral and it will produce huge amount of current also know as plasma that will harm you.

Electrical fault can be happen by short circuit, earth fault, overload current, and others.This kind of fault happen anytime without knowing. So we have to always prepare to avoid these fault so we can safe from getting shock.

How to prevent get electrical shock?

1) Always grounded or earth electrical appliance

Every electrical appliance need to ground to earth. This is because when short circuit or earth fault happen, this earth conductor will give unbalance current and immediately trip circuit breaker. This will prevent your from get shock from electrical appliance.

2) Remove static electricity

Electrostatic force are so dangerous than you where think. It will harm your computer,electronic device and even set up fire while you fill gasoline to your car.  This electrostatic force comes from charges build up rubbing or transfer electrons and proton in objects. So always discharge electrostatics force by using ESD carpet.

3) High voltage discharge rod.

       

This high voltage discharge rod is only used by lines man. Transmission line or service line cannot be shut down simply for maintenance because thousands of people using electricity.

So this high trained linesman use high voltage discharge rod to ground live wire to do maintenance.

4) Faraday Suit

This faraday suit also used by high trained linesman who do maintenance in high voltage electrical transmission line. This will prevent  linesman from getting shock from the service line. 

 IF YOU EVER GET SHOCK FROM ELECTRICITY?!!! LEAVE A COMMENT ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AND DON'T PLAY WITH ELECTRICITY. IT WILL KILL YOU
