Belgorodenergo warned about the danger of unauthorized interference in the operation of energy facilities

For the same reason, you should not climb onto power transmission towers or interfere with the operation of power equipment. Attacking wires or stealing non-ferrous metal can not only pose a threat to the health and lives of people, but also cause short circuits and fires.

It is important to remember one more rule: approach the broken wires closer to the distance 8-10 m extremely dangerous! Around such a wire, a zone of “step voltage” appears, from which you should exit exclusively in a “goose” step, without lifting your feet from the ground and from each other.

Pay attention to warning signs posted at power facilities: “Stop! Voltage! Dangerous for life”, “Don’t get involved – it will kill you!” These are not simple words, but a warning about a real threat. If you detect broken wires, sparking, damage to supports, insulators, unclosed or damaged doors of transformer substations or electrical panels, in order to avoid accidents, you must immediately notify power engineers by phone: +7 (800) 220-02-20. The call is free. Be careful, take care of your life.
