Birds Perch On High-Voltage Lines Without Being Injured at Sam Vanthoff blog

Birds Perch On High-Voltage Lines Without Being Injured. It’s all about the connections. Birds have evolved to be able to perch and fly safely near high voltage wires without any harm being done to them. Perched birds avoid getting shocked because they are only touching one wire. Birds can perch on power lines without getting electrocuted due to a combination of their physical adaptations and the design of. This ability has nothing to do with them. Have you ever looked up at a power line and wondered how birds can perch on them without getting electrocuted? When observing birds perched calmly on power lines, one may wonder how they manage to do so without being electrocuted. It seems like they should. Lots of birds perch on power lines, but they are certainly susceptible to being electrocuted. However, if they do something that gives electricity an easier, more conductive circuit, the voltage will flow through the bird and electrocute it. Birds have bodies that are poor conductors of electricity, causing the current to follow the path of least. The reason for this is that. It's not unusual to see a group of small birds, or a larger bird, apparently relaxing on wires used to transfer electricity over long. This ability has nothing to do with them being birds, explains ranbel sun '10, mng '13, a recent grad in electrical engineering who currently teaches at phillips academy in andover, massachusetts.
