Electrocuted is the term given to death by electric shock. You can only be Electrocuted once.

There are many factors that affect the result of contact with any voltage system.

These include duration, path of current through the body etc.

You could have a 440v shock that may only travel through one hand for example. The likely result is some electrical burns just to that hand. If however, the current path , goes from your hand, through your chest to your feet (through your heart) the risk of death is high.

The amount of current required to kill a person is very small, around 50 milliamps (50 thousandths of an amp).

As Current (Amps) is proportional to voltage, the higher the voltage the higher the current.

What is LT system?

LT is Low Tension - it means Low voltage. generally up to 440 Volts system is known as low voltage system


Why is it stated - 3 phase 440 VAC when one phase voltage is 220 VAC?

In three-phase there are three live wires and a neutral. The voltage of a three-phase system is always quoted as the live-to-live voltage, and the voltage from one live wire to neutral is 57.7% of that. A 440 v 3-ph system has 254 volts between live and neutral. <<>> The question statement is not correct. Two legs from a three phase three wire 440 volt system will still be 440 but classed a single phase. On a three phase four wire system supply, the voltages will be determined by the following equation. 440/(square root of 3) 1.73 = 254 volts. The second single phase voltage attainable from this source connection is any one of the three phase legs to grounded neutral center point. This is known as a wye or star point connected voltage supply. To obtain a 220 volt single phase voltage, the three phase system would have to have a voltage of 220 x 1.73 = 380 volts.


How do you calculate 440v phase?

Let's get the terminology correct. A 'phase voltage' is measured across a phase, whereas a line voltage is measured between two lines. So there is no such thing as a 'phase to phase' voltage -it's a line to line voltage (hence the term 'line voltage').


What is the mean of 220-440 connection of 3 phase motor?

Star 220 v and delta 400 i star 58 percent only voltage applied delta 400v appliedAnswerThese figures do not represent three-phase, four-wire, system voltages, because if the line voltage were to be 440 V, then the phase voltage would be 254 V; or, if the phase voltage were to be 220 V, then the line voltage would be 381 V.


How 33kv power converts into 440volts?

33 kV (not 'kv'!) is the standard primary-distribution voltage used in the UK's electricity supply system. Low voltage (400/230 V -not 440 V) is normally provided by transformers supplied from the 11-kV system, not the 33-kV system.


What will happen if you connect 220v bulb in parallel to 100k ohm resistances with supply of 440 v?

This bulb is very likely to be burn out since the 440 supply voltage is very higher than it's rated voltage.


Three phase voltage in india?

It is 230V single phase and 440V in 3 phase system at 50 Hz.AnswerIf the single-phase voltage is 230 V, then the three-phase voltage must be 400 V, not 440 V. The line voltage is 1.732 times the phase voltage.
