Yup, electrical substations are dangerous for the untrained…and the alcoholic.
“A power company spokesman said the incident is an example of the danger of [electrical] substations to untrained people.”
So wrote Trace Christenson in an article reporting that a 27-year-old man had been found with burned skin, singed hair and serious internal injuries inside a fenced electrical substation, apparently having been shocked with 46,000 volts of electricity. Trace is merely reporting what someone else said, but still. Several paragraphs later we read what is to the addictionologist obvious: the man “had been drinking.” Reporting myths sends the wrong message. More accurately, the incident is an example of the danger of unchecked alcoholism.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful blog i must appreciate your knowledge. Electrical substation useful for power supply but sometime it may damage the whole system because of high power supply.
