Can we get the shock if Power system is unearth means delta type take an rated voltage as 6.6 KV?..

Answer / sachin lakhe

Sure u will be shocked because as per the current law it
finds shortes path to be groun so current will pass through
body as we know rated voltage is so high.

Answer / dinesh

For an unearthed system, if you touch a single phase you
wont get any shock, because there wont be any closed path
for the current to flow through your body. because current
always needs a closed path to flow.

when the system is unearthed, the current through your body
cant flow back to the source to make it aclosed path.

But, even for unearthed system if touch 2 phases at a time
you will feel shock.

Answer / majorprince

No, if its not earthed in anyway there won't be a complete
path back to the source. Most delta systems have one phase
earthed and now if u touch one phase in this system u
definitely will b shocked. In an earthed system current
always tries to find the shortest way back to the source.
