Korkeajännitteisissä

Korkeajännitteisissä is a Finnish term that translates to "in high voltage" or "under high voltage" in English. It refers to the operational state or condition of electrical equipment or systems that are carrying or designed to carry electricity at a significantly elevated voltage level. This designation is crucial for safety, as high voltage poses a serious risk of electric shock and can cause severe damage to property and infrastructure.

Electrical systems are broadly categorized into low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage based on their operating potential. High voltage typically applies to electricity transmission lines that carry power over long distances from power plants to substations, as well as distribution lines that deliver power to consumers. The specific voltage thresholds for these categories can vary by region and regulatory standards.

Working with or near korkeajännitteisissä equipment requires strict safety protocols. These include specialized training for personnel, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as insulated gloves and clothing, and adherence to lockout/tagout procedures to ensure circuits are de-energized before maintenance. Warning signs and barriers are also commonly employed to alert individuals to the presence of high voltage and restrict unauthorized access. The inherent dangers necessitate a thorough understanding of electrical principles and meticulous attention to safety regulations.
