It means it could shock you to death. Painful
the inductive load which is generally use in high voltage transmission line known as transformer. the transformer transform the high voltage to low voltage.
voltage is termed as electrical pressure. when high voltage is applied more is the movement of electrons. hence losses will be less. this is one of the major reason for which high voltage transmission is chosen.secondly due to high voltage the current will be less so as the conductor size
at high voltage side, current is low. hence the size of conductors is reduced or small. At low voltage side, current is high. Hence the size of conductors is large.
Similiar to a flourescent light. The ignitor provides a high voltage potential to excite the sodium gas within the bulb.

Electricity is transferred with high voltage and low current to reduce transmission loss ( I2R , where R= resistance of wire). As high voltage is present in transmission lines, Danger-high voltage is written.

To measure high voltage use suitable instrument transformer (potential transformer) Very carefully. It can kill you. The higher the voltage the more the danger or arcing over even when two conductors are not touching. Voltage meters are rated and the rating should not be exceeded. Depending on the voltage you will need the proper meter and a high voltage probe rated for the voltage you are measuring. If you don't know what you are doing, don't mess with high voltage. Leave to the pros.
Until something comes along to conduct charge between points of different potential (voltage),there is no current.Think of a battery standing on the desk in front of you. There is voltage between the can (neg)and the button on top (pos) ... about 1.5 volts. But there is no current until something makes aconducting circuit between the button and the can.
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.
Substations may contain uninsulated high-voltage lines, busbars, and other equipment. Although this live equipment is mounted at a safe distance from trained personnel, those unaware of the hazards may approach the live equipment without realising that the voltages are high enough to break down the insulation of the air if they should approach within the safe distance limits, with lethal results.
The sensor circuit high volts is typically located near the sensor that is monitoring high voltage levels. It is important to ensure the sensor circuit is properly designed and installed to accurately detect and measure high voltage levels to prevent any potential damage or danger.
current is the killer not volts, you can have thousands of volts but with out flow (current) the danger is minimal, but if you have voltage its very easy to induce current so be careful and let a professional take care of it if you do not know what you are doing.
