    Climbing onto a high-voltage distribution box

    Never climb power poles or transmission towers. A typical overhead distribution line has 7,200 volts per wire. They are required to uphold them by Grid's electrical assets. At the voltages. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines high voltage as any voltage over 1000 volts for alternating current (AC) and over 1500 volts for direct current (DC). However, in common usage, high voltage often refers to levels significantly higher than this, particularly in the context. The Electrical Safety Office (ESO) reminds all workers of the risks associated with induced voltages when working on de-energised or non-commissioned electric lines, within close proximity to existing energised high voltage (HV) lines. Due to the significant electromagnetic fields present around. is ourselves: we must learn to behave safely around them. This part is designed for workers who.
