Physiological effect of the electricity

Seriousness factors

The level of injuries caused by the electric current is due to a combination of several factors:

- The intensity of the current flowing through the human body,

- source of electrical energy (voltage, power) and the environment (insulating or highly conductive)

- The duration of current flow through the human body,

- The surface area of contact,

- The particular susceptibility of the person subjected to the action of electric current.
