How electrecution happen at high voltage in near proximity without touching( HV lines).
In: 0
High voltage lines have the ability to ionize the air around them, and turn the air into a wire. If that area of ionized air can reach something that grounds the wire, you’ll get an arc. This is lightning.
And so if you get too close, the wire could ionize the air around them, and that ionized air touches you, and since you can ground the wire, it arcs to you, causing electricity to flow through you, potentially stopping your heart.
