Animals can sit on HIGH VOLTAGE Electrical lines. It does not give any current to animals or birds unless the circuit is complete. It is essentlal to complete the electrical circuits for making any current. When bird sit on the line / conductor the only legs of birds touched single line and it does not touch the other two conductors below upper line/conducotr , which does not make circiuit complete and birds / animals does not feel current.

What is EHV lines?
EHV lines are type of electrical lines commonly used for experimentation in physics. They stand for 'Extra High Voltage' lines.
Does AC have to be converted to DC in order to bury high voltage power lines?
No, there are many instances where AC high voltage lines are installed underground. Where an industrial building has an electrical vault within the building, the high voltage is brought to it using high voltage cables in conduit to supply the vault with primary voltage. These types of installations are usually only used where the customer uses a high volume of electrical power.
Why are there sometimes balls on high voltage electrical wires?
The balls on some power lines are required so that airplane pilots will be able to avoid flying into the lines.
What is use of substaion near grid station?
A power substation is used to reduce the voltage from high voltage power lines to a voltage that is less dangerous that you can use in a house for example. It is less costly to transmit electrical energy over long distances using high voltage.
How are electrical insulators made?
The insulators used on high tension transmission lines and on distribution lines are made of either glass or ceramic shaped in a mold. On high tension lines several are typically stacked to create a compound insulator that can avoid arcing at the voltage on the lines.
Electrical Properties of Transformers why you use it?
Transformers are used to convert electricity from high voltage to low voltage and from low voltage to high voltage.
Is there a theoretical limit to high voltage?
Theoretically there is no limit to the voltage of an electrical current.
Distance between ehv lines?
The distance between high voltage lines is governed by either a switching impulse voltage or lightning impulse voltage. The distance between lines, or lines and tower must have a high enough dielectric strength to avoid flashover at these voltage. Air can withstand a voltage of 3kv/mm.
What are hazards in high voltage power lines?
induced voltage can produce extremely high voltages that can be lethal if proper precautions are not observed such as earth grounding.also all coils of wire are inductors as are transformers .it is also very probable that fuses will blow,and a potential for a fire or even an explosion is a possibility! hooking up unknown electrical components and then powering them up can be risky business,especially if you don't have any electrical knowledge.
Who gets electricity from NS Power?
NS Power provides electrical power from as far north and east as Sydney to the southwestern city of Yarmouth. The high voltage lines from Sydney end at Dartmouth, and lower voltage lines extend further south and west towards Yarmouth.
What are the names for high voltage power cables?
Electrical conductors
What does BIL stand for in electrical high voltage?
Basic Impulse Level...
