They should come for lessons especially kwetu esp kabete. bure kabisa hiii... hehe.. why did the trao drop, aish aibu mingi saana iii..  . @brav, the trao did not drop, the guy is hanging upside down But still aibu mingi saana

Please comprehend the question before replying, the relatives are the lucky ones since they will identify him easily , how is he lucky since he is dead? Ok, lets say he is unlucky. But how does that help him either? You just don't get you guys!!! Judging by the type of transformer that is appearing in the picture, it is pretty obvious that it is an 11,000V/415V 3 phase delta/star power distribution transformer... There are three types of voltages at the input and output terminals: 1. At the primary side of the transformer, the voltage input is 11,000V (11kV) phase to phase or phase to ground (earth) 2. At the secondary side of the transformer, the voltage output is 415V phase to phase and... 3. At the secondary side of the transformer, the voltage output is 240V phase to neutral or phase to ground (earth) The more appropriate question to ask is which voltage actually killed the thief, the 240V, the 415V or the 11,000V??? So what voltage killed the fellow? Anyone who attended any elementary engineering class, ata kama ni bridging class at kagumo village polytechnic will know that the voltage doesn't kill, its the current! Hence Low voltage, high current and High voltage, low current! Be guided accordingly. Portfolio: Sold

So could you please tell us which of the two scenarios is lethal: 1. 100Amps at 5VAC 2. 0.001Amps at 240VAC ...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

Does current just happen? Voltage is a factor of current, if I can recall my lessons in sociology. There can never be current without voltage, just like water cannot just flow with zero gradient.

It is electric current that burns tissue, freezes muscles, and fibrillates hearts. However, electric current doesn't just occur on its own: there must be voltage available to motivate electrons to flow through a victim. A person's body also presents resistance to current, which must be taken into account. Quote: Taking Ohm's Law for voltage, current, and resistance, and expressing it in terms of current for a given voltage and resistance, we have this equation: CURRENT=VOLTAGE/RESISTANCE Welding  TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

How big is the flat surface? Those two points can easily disqualify your statement.
