Safety
High voltage overhead power cables are very dangerous.
The cables are supported high above the general public on pylons.
However, electricity can kill even if you do not touch the line itself.
The voltage levels are so high that accidents can occur several meters from the power line.
- It is important that nobody or anything is too close to a power line.
- Pylons and transformerAn electrical device that increases, or decreases, the voltage (p.d.) of an alternating current. are not playgrounds or climbing frames.
- Do not play with kites near power lines.
- Do not use an outdoor trampoline near power lines.
- Do not fish near power lines.
- Never refuel a vehicle or machine closer than 60 meters from a power line.
