what are the three categories of electrical injuries?

There are four main types of injuries: electrocution (fatal), electric shock, burns, and falls. These injuries can happen in various ways: Direct contact with exposed energized conductors or circuit parts.

Voltages over approximately 50 volts can usually cause dangerous amounts of current to flow through a human being who touches two points of a circuit, so safety standards are more restrictive around such circuits.

There are three types of external bleeding that are categorized by which blood vessel is damaged. These include capillary, venous, and arterial bleeding.

It is perhaps worth noting that 12/24V DC is just as deadly as 120/240V AC. There's naught deadly in voltage, it's the wattage that electrocutes you. A static shock is 6kV, as I recall, but the amperage is low enough that it doesn't hurt at all.

There are two main types of electricity, Static Electricity, generated by rubbing two or more objects causing to build up friction, Current Electricity, generated by the flow of electrical charge through a conductor across an electrical field.

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can help prevent electrocution. If a person's body starts to receive a shock, the GFCI senses this and cuts off the power before he/she can get injured. GFCIs are generally installed where electrical circuits may accidentally come into contact with water.

It may cause injury due to electrical shock, fire or electrocution. A plug or electrical cord should not have exposed wiring. Exposed wires present a danger of electric shock or electrocution. Using an open front plug poses the risk of contact with live wires when plugging it to a electrical outlet.

Even when safety regulations are followed, emergencies can happen in the laboratory. Therefore, it is important to know what to do in the case of an accident. The three most common types of laboratory accidents are chemical spills, fires and explosions, and personnel injuries.

Motor nerves and blood vessels may be damaged, although this is very rare. Rarely, burns may occur as the electrical current passes through the electrode. Serious risks associated with radiofrequency ablation include infection and permanent nerve damage.

It's The Current That Kills Offhand it would seem that a shock of 10,000 volts would be more deadly than 100 volts. But this is not so! Individuals have been electrocuted by appliances using ordinary house currents of 110 volts and by electrical apparatus in industry using as little as 42 volts direct current.

Injuries to the Body Dr. Griggs says if a person is struck by lightning, it can cause cardiac arrest, which stops a person's body from circulating blood and cause direct injury to the brain and nervous system, preventing the brain from being able to send the appropriate signals to tell the body to continue breathing.

Signs and symptoms Common injuries caused by lightning include: muscle pains, broken bones, cardiac arrest, confusion, hearing loss, seizures, burns, behavioral changes, and ocular cataracts. Loss of consciousness is very common immediately after a strike.
