I’ve understood that water isn’t a great conductor of electricity. But the interaction causes the electricity to skim across the top of the water. It can’t penetrate deeply through water. Being under water is safer than being on the surface in the case of a lightning strike. Water provides lots of resistance
Technically true but it would be counterproductive to say this. All water we will ever contact out there has impurities and is very conductive. It is not likely someone is standing in a bucket of pure distilled water while receiving a shock.
Fantastic Explanation I'm a British Spark and whilst we have different names for our accessories and colours (colors) for our Line ( Hot ) Neutral ( Neutral) and Earth/circuit protection Conductor CPC ( Ground) it's the same science
Live work just kinda happens. If we can power it down we will but you always have circumstances that you can't that's why they make hot gloves and arc flash suit
Voltage through a float switch in a tank has got me a few times. Keep it 24V or less please!
I’m here trying to learn how to release someone and what items can be used just in case of a emergency 😅
Here for the same reason
but nothing

Water in itself is not a conductor of electricity. The impurities mixed in water is what conducts electricity

They say don’t try to pull the victim away but what about knocking/pushing them off of the power source? Running tackle ?
You can grab them by their clothes if not conducting electricity and yes the running tackle could prove useful in the case

*my ass frying like a gas station hot dog while my coworkers spend 20 minutes trying to find the certified stick to pull me off a live circuit*🥴
What does it do to the brain
dead body ki current shock passing current passing yes or no reply
What is the cal/cm2 of metal sheets based on thickness?
Why not shut off the main breaker?

This was useless
