Why can birds safely rest on high-voltage power lines without getting shocked?

Birds can safely perch on high-voltage power lines without harm because they rest on a single wire, avoiding a complete electrical circuit. This prevents electricity from flowing through their bodies. Why birds remain safe and the conditions that could put them at risk. Key Notes One point of Contact No path to the ground Why […]
Grounding in Control Panels: Understanding Equipment vs. System Grounding

In a control panel powered by a DC supply, proper grounding is essential for ensuring both safety and reliable operation. Grounding configurations hinge on two distinct concepts: equipment grounding, which safeguards personnel and equipment, and system grounding, which stabilizes voltage and minimizes electrical noise. Want to master these critical aspects of control panel design? Explore […]
