Electrical Safety - Basic Information

in blurt •  2 years ago 

Every electrical system has the potential to be dangerous. Electricity can be classified as either "static" or "dynamic." The uniform mobility of electrons across a conductor is referred to as dynamic electricity (this is known as electric current). Conductors are materials that allow electricity to flow through them. The majority of metals are conductors.

The human body is a conductor as well. The subject of this paper is dynamic electricity. Electric current cannot exist in the absence of an uninterrupted route to and from the conductor. Electricity will take the shape of a "path" or "loop." When you plug in a device (for example, a power tool), energy flows along the shortest path possible from the plug-in to the tool and back to the power source. This is often referred to as constructing or completing an electrical circuit.

When people become entangled in an electrical circuit, they are hurt. Because humans are more conductive than the earth (the ground we stand on), electricity will try to flow through our bodies if there is no other easy channel.

Work away from electricity wires. Recommended distances differ depending on jurisdiction and/or utility company. When working, driving, parking, or storing things within 15 meters (49 feet) of overhead electricity wires, check with both your authority and the electrical utility provider.
