Why are the wingspans of birds a consideration in determining the spacing between parallel wires in a power line?

∙ 11y ago
If the wingspan of birds is sufficient to span the wires that differ in electric potential, then the bird acts as a path for current to flow from the high voltage wire to the low voltage wire. Since the electric potential differences are huge in power lines, it is very likely that the bird will be cooked when it completes the circuit and the ground below will become littered with carcasses.

How much would an 11 foot full grown alligator weigh?
It could be anything from a hatchling to a yearling or more. They come out of the egg anywhere between 6 and 11 inches, and growth is determined by how much they can get to eat, and how often they eat. There is no accurate means of determining the age of ANY reptile.
What is the temp for chickens and ducks in the incubators?
The ideal temperature for hatching chickens or ducks in an incubator is between 99.5F and 100.5F. The temperature is not the only consideration as the humidity must be right also. Eggs should be at a 55% humidity rate through to the 18th day and raised to better than 65% during the final days. Chickens take 21 days from set to hatch but ducks take a few days more. Average incubation of most duck breeds is between 25 to 35 days depending on the breed.
What is the difference between a landrace and a chester white pig?
Distinguish between swine breeds: Look at main colors --> pigs are white, black and red Both have white hair and pink skin but >> American Landrace (Large body, snout and floppy ears (slanted forward parallel to head) >> Chester White (Short body, snout and floppy ears) Also American Landrace has a large litter, and Chester is smaller, why that is important with immediate identification, really does not matter, but I guess it is a fun fact.
Why is the wingspan of birds a consideration in determining the spacing between parrelel wires in a power line?
a bird will not be harmed if touching one wire but if it make a connection to a second wire it will be killed.
