Why we didn’t feel electric shock in an electric train ??

Answer Posted / kaji mustufa

As the source used in trains is from overhead lines and it makes contact with PENTOGRAPH contactor but pentograph contactor is insulated from coaches by mounting insulator discs on the top of train..
summerising, electric train and source (i.e. 25kV dc) is electricaly not connected.. Hence no shock....
