Their cells and tissues do not offer electrons an easier route than the copper wire they're already traveling along. As a result, the electricity bypasses the birds and keeps flowing along the wire instead. When a bird is perched on a single wire, its two feet are at the same electrical potential, so the electrons in the wires have no motivation to travel through the bird's body.
No moving electrons means no electric current. If someone touches a live electrical wire Check his breathing and heartbeat. If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Treat the victim for shock. Keep him lying down. Do not move the victim if you suspect neck or spine injury.
Treat burn by immersing in cold water. Do not apply grease or oil. Electricity doesn't care if your grounded or not. If you are a potential path to complete a circuit, by yourself or in parallel or series with an existing circuit, then when you put yourself in that position you can be electrocuted regardless of being grounded or not.
If a live wire inside an appliance, toy, or power tool touches the inside of the device and you touch the device, it would be like touching a bare live wire.
You cannot tell from the outside if there is a problem inside, so you should always act as if there were danger of shock. Trees don't have to physically touch an energized power line to be dangerous. Electricity can arc from the power line to nearby trees given the right conditions, such as a voltage surge on the line from a nearby lightning strike. This electric current can kill anyone caught near the tree and can cause a fire. Bats have large wings. So when they are hanging quietly, they will not get shock.
But when they stretch their large wings, often those wings touch another power line , thus completing the circuit.
Never drive over a downed line. It could cause poles or other equipment to come crashing down. If you are in a car that has come in contact with a downed power line , stay in your vehicle.
If you must leave your car , only in the case of fire, jump free from the car and hop away from it with both feet together. Birds don't get electrocuted on power lines because electricity does not move through their bodies when they sit on them.
When the bird sits with both its feet on the electrical wire, their legs have an equal electrical potential so the electricity will not move throughout the bird's body. If you see a large can that is a transformer and the wires connected to it will operate at higher voltage I think V.
Call and We Energies to report it. Do not touch someone being shocked by a downed line; you could be hurt or killed. Downed lines are most common after storms and high winds. If you are outside after a storm, be alert for lines that may be hard to see in streams or puddles. When moving away from a downed power line, shuffle with your feet close together and on the ground. When a live wire touches the ground, electricity travels through the ground in all directions. Voltage decreases as distance from the wire touching the ground increases.
Call immediately to report a fallen power line. Stay safe if a fallen power line touches your car If your vehicle comes in contact with a downed power line, follow these safety rules: Stay inside your car. The ground around your car may be energized. Sound the horn, roll down your window and call for help. Warn others to stay away. Anyone who touches the equipment or ground around your car can be injured.
Use your mobile phone to call If your car is in contact with a fallen power line and a fire starts, follow these guidelines when exiting your vehicle: Remove loose items of clothing. Keep your hands at your sides and jump clear of the vehicle, so you are not touching the car when your feet hit the ground.
