jännitteelliseen

Jännitteelliseen is a Finnish word that translates to "live" or "energized" in English when referring to electrical circuits or objects. It describes a situation where an electrical conductor or device is carrying an electric current or is connected to a power source, thus posing a potential electrical hazard. For example, a live wire would be described as jännitteellinen. This term is crucial in electrical safety contexts, as encountering something jännitteellinen requires caution and adherence to safety protocols to prevent electric shock. The word itself is derived from "jännite," meaning voltage. Therefore, "jännitteellinen" directly implies the presence of voltage. It's important to distinguish this from "virta," which refers to current, although a jännitteellinen object typically has voltage and may also have current flowing through it under certain conditions. Understanding the meaning of jännitteellinen is fundamental for anyone working with or around electricity in Finland.
