The voltage between the energized object and the feet of a person in contact with the object.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - contact%20voltage

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

It is equal to the difference in voltage between the object (which is at a distance of 0 feet) and a point some distance away.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - contact%20voltage

Because of the voltage gradient, the voltage of the earth only a short distance from the grounded metallic equipment will be different than the equipment. Thus, if a worker touches the grounded equipment, his or her feet will be at a different potential than his or her hands. This voltage can be lethal. Touch voltage is mitigated by increasing the number of grounding electrodes, increasing bonding between metal parts, and employing a grounding grid.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - contact%20voltage
