The Fundamental Laws of Electricity and Safety

Perhaps you're familiar with the myth that getting between the neutrals can hurt you worse than touching the hot. In fact, grounded (neutral) conductors can be as dangerous as ungrounded (hot) wires. The danger of electrocution exists any time the voltage is in excess of 30V. Consider what happens when a person becomes part of the neutral of a 120V circuit. Ohm's and Kirchoff's Law will be the basis

Curiosity is a natural part of childhood learning, but it can be extremely dangerous when it comes to electricity. ESFI is dedicated to reducing the number of childhood injuries and deaths from electrically-related accidents through education and awareness.

Electric Shock Drowning, or ESD is when AC (alternating current) leakage from nearby boats or docks electrocutes or incapacitates swimmers in fresh water. Boat Safety, Water Safety, Marine Gear, Boat Battery, Electric Shock, Electric Field, Boating Tips, Sail World, Boat Projects

This sums up the cause of electric shock drownings and injuries. A ground fault (short circuit to ground) occurs on a boat. The safety ground wire is broken. This electrifies a boat's underwater metals creating a dangerous electric field in the water. If a person in the water enters this field they can be paralyzed (resulting in drowning) or electrocuted.
