RE: Why Do Birds And Squirrels Not Get Electrocuted Sitting On Live Power wires?

in #steemstem7 years ago

Truly it is because there is no potential difference accros the bird but this theory does not account for very high voltages of about 10MV which is possible of breaking down the threshold frequency of any insulator and causing it to be electrocuted even with contact of a single life wire

Yes you are very right. I learnt of this two days ago from @greenrun's blog
