Electrical Circuits
• Electrical source• Electrical user• Wires
![Page 5: 29 CFR 1910.332 Electrical Safety. Concerned About Electricity? How many sets of Christmas lights do you plug into one extension cord? Do you still use.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649ca55503460f949660ea/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rules of Electricity
• Electricity travels in a completed circuit
• Electricity always travels in the path of least resistance
• Electricity tries to travel to ground
![Page 6: 29 CFR 1910.332 Electrical Safety. Concerned About Electricity? How many sets of Christmas lights do you plug into one extension cord? Do you still use.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649ca55503460f949660ea/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Electricity and People
• A person usually offers a lessor resistance for the electricity
• The person forms a completed circuit when touching the ground
• Electricity always tries to travel to ground
![Page 7: 29 CFR 1910.332 Electrical Safety. Concerned About Electricity? How many sets of Christmas lights do you plug into one extension cord? Do you still use.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649ca55503460f949660ea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Voltages and Amperes
• Voltage = Amps X Ohms(resistance)
• Converting voltage to amps• Typical Industrial Voltages
– 110/120 Volts = 60milli-amps (mA)
– 220/240 Volts = 120 mA– 440/480 Volts = 240 mA
![Page 8: 29 CFR 1910.332 Electrical Safety. Concerned About Electricity? How many sets of Christmas lights do you plug into one extension cord? Do you still use.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649ca55503460f949660ea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Effects on the Human Body
• 1 mA: Can be felt by the body• 2-10 mA: Minor shock, might result in
a fall• 10-25 mA: Loss of muscle control,
may not be able to let go of the current
• 25-75 mA: Painful, may lead to collapse or death
• 75-300 mA: Last for 1/4 second, almost always immediately fatal
![Page 9: 29 CFR 1910.332 Electrical Safety. Concerned About Electricity? How many sets of Christmas lights do you plug into one extension cord? Do you still use.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649ca55503460f949660ea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Body’s Resistance
• Skin offers most of the body’s electrical resistance
• Increased resistance – Thick and callused skin (foot or hand)
– Dry skin
• Decreased resistance– Thin skin (inner forearm)
– Wet or sweaty skin
– Broken or abraded skin (scratches)
![Page 10: 29 CFR 1910.332 Electrical Safety. Concerned About Electricity? How many sets of Christmas lights do you plug into one extension cord? Do you still use.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649ca55503460f949660ea/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Resistance Varies
• Different levels of electrical resistance for each person
• Ranges from 500 ohms to many thousands of ohms
• The greater the body’s resistance, the less chance of harm
• A similar voltage shock can be minor to one person and deadly to another.
