Synopsis

While the immediate effects of high-voltage electrical accidents are often clear, much less obvious are long-term developments of symptoms and also the effects of low-voltage accidents. This book fills a significant gap in the electrical safety literature, especially in regard to extra low voltages. A unique guide for non-engineers looking for a broad introduction to electrical injury, a starting point for victims of electrical accidents frustrated by a lack of consistent information, and a standard reference for biomedical engineers and forensic scientists. Electrical injury, hazards, and electrocution are explained in a direct and complete style. Case reports of electrical accidents are reviewed and regulatory standards (IEEE, IEC) analyzed. Previously ambiguous concepts are carefully defined and explained, such as “stray current”, “no-let-go”, “startle reaction”, “electrical stress reaction”, “delayed death/arrhythmia”, and the relationship between “contact voltage” and “body current.”.. This is the first comprehensive volume published in two decades focused on the subject of very low voltage lectrical trauma and the first to comprehensively consider extra low voltages

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Prof. Bikson is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at The City University of New York and an international expert on how weak electric current can affect the body. He has published extensively on the biological effects of electricity, spoken across international conferences on electrical stimulation, and consulted for individuals as well as major utility companies and medical device manufacturers on electrical safety. In this single book, Prof. Bikson condenses decades of research and experience into a single readable and comprehensive source.
