Does human body can effect the electric shock when stand on Insulated material?..

Answer / bharani

When you isolate yourself from the ground by standing on an
insulator and touch a live wire, depending on the
resistivity of the inulator, a small current may flow
through your body to the ground and if it is negligible, you
may not feel anything. but if you wet your body and carryout
the the same experiment, then you may be at risk of a shock
as yor body resistance would have come down drastically.All
said and done, the resistivity of the material chosen as
inulator is very important.

Answer / sourav pal

It depends,
1.Condition of body(non Linear Resistence) either wet condition or Dry condition.
2.Voltage Capacity(high/low)
3.On which insulator(capacitance) are u standing and touching the wire

How to find Cable size? Caterpillar generator produce (Two generators) 127*2=254 amp at 11 kv . What would be the cable size (XLPE) to supply 256 amp at 11 kv? Air or surrounding Temperature is 32 degree C. Cable will go under ground at 2.5 feet depth. Group Rating Factors is 3 cables. Clearance between cables is 7 cm. Soil Temperature (Ambient) 28o C Soil Thermal Resistivity is 1.2 K.m/W I would like to use 3 separate single core instead of using 3 core cable. Some says I should use three separate single core 120RM cables. Some says 70RM .some says 95. I m totally confused. Is there ant specific rule to determine cable size? What would be the LT cable size to flow 500 Amp current? Ifte My e mail address is ifte13@yahoo.com Anyone please send me the answer to my e mail address, i will be very glad.
