Analysis of Public Shock and Electrocution Cases

 

ImageWe recently sent out a newsletter about the public shock and electrocution database that Mark Voigtsberger with Power Quality Testing is putting together asking you to submit your case if you have one.

 

The following paper reports on this project to collect information on these cases and provides a basic analysis of the findings to date. This will not include the cases you may have recently submitted. Mark will send us that updated report when it is available.

  • i would have figured there would be more incidents of electric shock or electrocution in the last 26 years.

  • I found this article and was hopping someone with could shed the light on that possibility of "high voltage shock" from the batteries in a Hybrid car. Or is this just another attempt to suppress the sales of fuel efficient cars?

    "Some emergency responders have raised questions about the likelihood of battery explosions or leaks, with the leading concern being electrocution hazards if high-voltage cables are exposed to bare metal, passengers, or rescuers. As more manufacturers plan to add hybrid models to their lineups, scrutiny on this latter issue has been increasing."

  • I have a related problem and a question. One of my clients has been experiencing random power surges on our 120VAC line. No one is getting shocked but we have lost three computers. We installed an isolation transformer but would like to monitor this for a few weeks in attempt to identify the problem. I heard of a unit for around $220 that could monitor via a PC.Does any one know of a device or monitor we could connect to collect information on the power problems?

    Thanks, Larry
