    • electrical shock
    • burns
  6. What are 2 indirect electrical injuries?
    • falls
    • fires
  7. In what situation can a bird get shocked?
    When their wing span is large enough that they make contact with two lines (they fluctuate in voltage)
  8. A/C current is
    • supplied by generators
    • distributed by above or underground power lines for end use in home, commercial and industrial application
  9. DC current
    • supplied by batteries
    • batteries, UPS, vehicles are DC
  10. Why does electricity travel?
    There is a voltage difference between source (120 volts and return (0 volts/ground)
  11. What is VAC?
    ____ volts alternating current
  12. Severity of shock is dependent on:
    • path of current through the body
    • amount of current flowing through the body (amps)
    • Duration of shocking current through the body
  13. What is the relationship between voltage, current and resistance
    V=IR
  14. these happen at what electrical currents?
    death from Ventricular fibrillation if current pathway goes through heart & breathing difficulty due to muscular contraction

    The amount of current. Ampres.
  17. Is grounding used for personal safety or machine integrity?
    Groundings primary use is to prevent damage to facility and equipment
  18. The Arc fault circuit interrupter works by...
    by switches opening when the difference between the two currents (live and neutral) becomes too great
  19. T/F - Switch and fuses primary purpose is to protect the people
    False. Protect the machines
