I. - Effects of electric current passing through the human body.
For the same current path through the human body, the danger faced by those esse
ntially depends on the intensity and duration of current flow. The relationship
between current and voltage is not linear because the impedance of the human bod
y varies with the contact stress. It is therefore important to have data on this
relationship. The different parts of the body - such as skin, blood, muscle, ot
her tissues and joints-have for the electric current a certain impedance compose
d of resistive and capacitive elements. The values of these impedances depend on
several factors, in particular, the path of the current, contact voltage, the d
uration of current flow, the frequency of the current state of moisture from the
skin, Contact surface of pressure and temperature. The impedance values listed
in this report are the result of a thorough examination of available experimenta
l results of measurements made mainly on dead and some alive. Current accidents
are much less common than one might think in regard to the number of application
s of DC and fatal accidents that occur only in very unfavorable conditions, for
example, in the mines. This is due in part to the fact that for shock durations
exceeding the period of the cardiac cycle, ventricular fibrillation threshold is
much higher than AC. The internal impedance of the human body (Zi) is considere
d primarily resistive and its value depends on the current path and then the con
tact area. The following diagram represents the impedance of the human body.

The internal impedance of the skin (Zp) can be considered as a set of strengths
and capabilities. The skin impedance decreases when the current increases. To co
ntact voltages above 50V, the skin impedance decreases rapidly and becomes negli
gible when that is drilled. Values of total body impedance (Zt). Table I (for a
current path hand to hand) Values in the table below represent the best knowledg
e of the total impedance of the adult human body alive. The current state of kno
wledge suggests that in children the values that are similar.

The total resistance of the human body (Rt) in DC is higher than in AC for up to
approximately 150 V Ucontacto motivated by blocking the ability of the skin. It
then gives a graph of Zt (in C. AC) and Rt (continuously) on the basis of the U
contact.

Ventricular fibrillation is considered the leading cause of death by electric sh
ock. Also has evidence of deaths from suffocation or heart stop. Duck physiologi
cal effects such as muscle twitching, difficulty breathing, increased blood pres
sure, disturbances in the formation and propagation of impulses in the heart inc
luding atrial fibrillation and the temporary stop of heart, ventricular fibrilla
tion can occur without those effects are not fatal and usually are reversible, b
ut may produce current brands. For currents of several amperes, it can cause dee
p burns which causes serious damage that can even cause death. Note: the current
has physiological effects delayed its passage through the human body.

II. Classification of Machinery and Electrical, Electronics and Lighting in rela
tion to protection against electrical shocks
Equipment Class: Class O equipment: Equipment in which protection against electr
ic shock is only done with Basic insulation, this means that there is no means f
or switching or accessible conductive parts of a conductor. Not allowed in Argen
tina
In Europe the insulation of the floor and walls to a height of 2.50 mts. should
be greater than 50 kohm to U up to 500 VAC line to use them.
Class I Equipment: Equipment in which protection against electric shock is not d
one only with insulation
Basic, but includes additional protection in such a way that allows the connecti
on of the (Mass) accessible conductive protective conductor (grounded) so that t
hese parties do not reach an electric potential in case of failure of insulation
Basic.
Tested to 1500 VAC - 1 minute
Class II Equipment: Equipment in which protection against electric shock is not
done only with the insulation
Basic, but includes additional protection consisting of: double insulation or re
inforced insulation and do not allow the provision of a grounding.
(May be metal) Tested to 3750 VAC-1 minute

Protection against direct and indirect contacts.
a) Protection against direct contacts a1) Protection by insulation of live parts
. a2) Protection by barriers or wrappings. a3) Protection by obstacles. a4) Prot
ection by location out of reach. a5) additional protection devices Differential
Current.
a) Protection against direct contact
General Concept: It consists in taking all measures to protect people against th
e dangers
that may result from contact with live parts normally. a1) Protection by insulat
ion of live parts: The live parts are completely covered with insulation, which
can only be removed by destruction and use of tools, Paints - Varnishes and simi
lar products are not considered suitable insulation for protection against elect
ric shock in service normal. a2) Protection by barriers or enclosures, are livin
g parts in containers inside or behind barriers that provide at least a degree o
f protection IP2X (holes or less than 12 mm and distance greater than 80 mm = As
bars - sheets or other mechanical protection. Where it is necessary to remove a
barrier or open an envelope or part of it, this will be possible only by means
of a tool - For the use of a key or tool. - After turning off the power to live
parts. - The food will be replenished only after replacing the barriers or prote
ctive wrappings to close.
Test finger or test tube and portable use.
Special protection measures (grid).

Concept of the tension out of hand a3) Protection by barriers: The barriers are
used to prevent unintentional contact with live parts, but no intentional contac
t by deliberate overcoming the obstacle. a4) Protection of location outside the
reach: Accessible parts simultaneously with different potentials should not be w
ithin arms reach. It is understood and to parties that are not separated, more t
han 2.50 mts. a5) Additional Protection by residual current devices Note: This p
rotection is used in addition to the earlier and never as an alternative to eith
er of them.€The circuit breaker is used as additional protection that works with
30 mA and a time not greater than 0.2 sec. in case of failure of the other syst
ems mentioned or user negligence. This method does not prevent accidents caused
by simultaneous contacts (both hands) with live parts of different voltage, but
provides protection against indirect contact, while allowing ground conditions t
echnically and economically feasible and has the additional advantage in terms o
f protection against fire, continuously monitor the insulation of live parts.
b) Protection against indirect contact
Protection against electric shock in case of failures:
General Concept:
It consists in taking all measures to protect people against dangers that may re
sult from contact with metal (mass), accidentally put under stress, following a
failure of insulation of the appliance or electrical equipment. Mass Definition:
A set of metal parts of apparatus, equipment, electrical circuits (boxes cabine
ts - boards - slide trays - cables, etc..) That are normally isolated from the l
ive parts, but as a result of insulation failure accidentally put under stress.
b1) Protection by automatic disconnection of supply voltage: This system consist
s of a protective earthing system and a protective device.

IV) Line Protection Electrical Installations of Buildings.
Types: a) Surge Protection (Long). b) Short circuit protection (short term).€c)
Protection by insulation faults.
a) Overload protection (Long): Concept: power surges mainly long-term damage the
insulation of cables
electrical installation. The most used protective devices are the fuse and break
er. Acting fuse with a feature in one, 45 times the rated current stop it in les
s than 60 minutes. The breaker acts on a feature that makes with 1.45 times rate
d current stop within 60 minutes caused the overload. The characteristics of the
protection elements (fuses, circuit breakers, etc.) Shall meet the following cr
iteria: Once the current Ip of the installation project and selected the driver
section of the characteristic values of protection should comply with the condit
ions Simultaneous following:
In Ip less than or equal or less equal to or less If Ic Ic 1.45 Where: Ip: Power
line project to protect. In: Nominal protection. Ic: Current supported by the d
river of the line to protect. If: Current of the fuse or the operation of the pr
otection, within 60 minutes caused the overload.
b) Short circuit protection (short term): Concept: The current overload of short
duration occurs and causes a short circuit current values of 5-100 times the ra
ted current or more. The fuse when acting interrupting these currents is necessa
ry to replace the wire of the same and this
Mistakes action altering the correct calibration and allowing the movement of cu
rrents much higher than those for the protection of the insulation of wires.
The breaker acts with different characteristics compared to shorts and after rem
oval of fault can replace keeping the original calibration, hence the greater di
ssemination.
These elements must be able to interrupt the short circuit current before damage
occurs in the conductors and connections due to thermal and mechanical effects.
Thermal Verification drivers to the short circuit current shall be controlled b
y the following expression:

Example: Placement of a protective conductor 2.5 mm2 copper square (minimum reco
mmended) allows in the case of a short circuit of 3000 A, with the use of a brea
ker interrupting current at 10 msec without overheating for driver installation.
The values of K have been determined considering that drivers are initially at
the maximum temperature of service provided by the IRAM and at the end of the sh
ort reach maximum temperatures provided by the same standards (160 ° C) and time
less than 5 sec. for PVC conductor insulation, and 250 ° C for crosslinked poly
ethylene insulation.
c) Protection by insulation failure
Concept: The resulting ground currents in a facility are caused by failure of th
e insulation of the conductors of the same or junction boxes made in connection
with current sockets and switches or connections within them or directly from eq
uipment failure devices or machines connected to it. The heat energy that can de
velop a fire in flammable materials occurs only for a few amperes (3-5). The fai
lure of insulation of cables, accessories or product lines connected to these ca
n lead to such securities. A differential switch constantly senses the level of
insulation of a line, and in the case of earth leakage currents exceeding 30 mA
which cuts the power to prevent fires is ideal for electrical causes.
