HOW IS AN ELECTRIC SHOCK RECEIVED?

Electric discharges are received

when the electric current passes to
through the body. This can
occur in different situations.
Whenever two cables have
different voltage, the current will pass
among them if they are connected. Your
body can connect the cables if
it touches both of them at the same time.
The current will pass through your
body.

body for only 2 seconds, is enough to provoke the
death.

. The amount of internal current that a person can tolerate and still
being able to control the muscles of the arm and hand can be
less than 10 milliamperes.

. If the current is greater than 10 mA it can paralyze or 'freeze' the

muscles and, when this happens, the person cannot let go
tools, cables, or other objects. In fact, it may be that it tightens the
electrified object with more force and then there is an exposure
longer for the discharge. If you cannot release the tool, the
current continues to flow through his body for a longer time, which

mA of current are sufficient to cause respiratory paralysis.

ELECTRIC ARCH
• Normally, air is a very good insulating element, however,
under certain conditions such as high temperatures and high
electric fields, can become a good conductor of
electric current.

• The physical characteristic that makes the electric arc dangerous is the high
temperature, which can reach 49727 ºC in the region of the
conductors (anode and cathode) and 19727 ºC in the column
6. DEVELOPMENT
ELECTRIC ARC
• The high temperature of the electric arc generates radiation of
heat that can cause severe burns even at distances of 3

MAIN DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRIC ARC

Theelectric arc emits

thermal radiation (heat) and
intense light, what can
cause burns. Several
factors affect the
severity of the injury, such as
the color of the skin, the area
exposed and the type of clothing
that the person is wearing.
The appropriate clothing, take
distance and the devices
of adequate protection
against the overcurrent
can reduce the risk of
such burns.
6. DEVELOPMENT
MAIN DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH ARC ELECTRICITY
Onehigh voltage arc can produce a
explosion of a pressure wave
considerable. A person who is found
2 feet away from an arc of 25,000
amp feels an impact of almost 218
kilograms of force at the front of the body.
Furthermore, an explosion of such magnitude
it can cause serious hearing damage and
memory loss due to the
concussion. Sometimes, the wave
of pressure expels the victim outside of the
electric arc. Although this may reduce
a greater exposure to thermal energy,
can cause serious physical injuries. The
pressure wave can propel objects
large at large distances.

copper and aluminum components of electrical equipment. The wave
pressure can send these droplets of molten metal at great
distances. Although the droplets harden quickly, they still

severe burns or setting fire to common clothing, although
the person is at a distance of 3 meters or more. They can

Electricity ignites a mixture of explosive material in the air.
This ignition can occur as a result of the accumulation of

by normal electrical arcs at the contacts of switches or

PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRICAL RISKS
To protect against the effects of electrical hazards, there are
following methods:
• Preventing electrical failures through some measures
installations and equipment that comply with applicable regulations and
through preventive maintenance that covers the entire system
electric with the proper frequency.
• Use protective barriers that confine the explosion and the arc
electric or that guide them in directions that do not affect the
personal.
• Maintain distances from energized equipment to avoid the
dangerous approaches that may produce electric arcs.
• Avoid harmful potential differences between different parts of the
human body.
• Directly protect people with safety equipment.
