Talk:High Voltage Isolation and Ground Potential Rise

I have added headings but some of these may have broken up the continuity of the article. This is why expert attention is needed. Biscuittin (talk) 14:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * And to answer the questions below. Biscuittin (talk) 09:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

300 volt point
What is the significance of the 300 volt point? Surely a hazard would exist at voltages far less than 300? Biscuittin (talk) 14:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Fiber optic cable
I don't see how Ground Potential Rise could affect a fiber optic cable. Biscuittin (talk) 15:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

hydro power fault
Presumably this doesn't refer to hydro-electric power. Does it mean a fault caused by dampness? Biscuittin (talk) 16:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a reference to Hydro sub stations in the last paragraph which puzzles me. Surely the same precautions are needed whether the electricity is generated by hydro power or thermal power? Biscuittin (talk) 22:50, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Rubber gloves
Rubber gloves will not always give protection. In the case of high-frequency AC or interrupted DC (e.g. car ignition circuits) one could still receive an electric shock by induction. This is another section that requires expert advice. Biscuittin (talk) 09:21, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Tone of article
This smacks of a cut'n'paste from some trade rag. It's jargon-infested and full of helpful "how to" information inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Should be redirected to "High voltage" and "Earth potential rise" - the portmanteau title will never be searched. --Wtshymanski (talk) 17:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
