Here is some situation where an electrical hazard can happen
Now electrical hazard can be divided into two categories
By Flow of Electricity
By Firing Causes by Electrical Short Circuit
By Explosion / Firing Causes by Electrical Spark
The physiological effect of electric current can be predicted with the chart shown below
Current (A) | Physiological Effect |
0.2 | DEATH (Heart Muscle Failure) |
0.1 | Extreme Breathing Difficulties, Muscular Paralysis, Painful Sensation |
0.001 | Mid Sensation |
