Why doesn't everyone get electrocuted on the roof of a train car?
This article examines the potential for electric shock to a person on the roof of a train car. It also examines why some people are killed by current, while others are not. Railways are electrified with both direct and alternating current (DC) at 50 Hz. The maximum voltage in a DC overhead contact system reaches 4000 V, while in an AC overhead contact system it reaches 29,000 V. Such high voltages can cause electrocution even at some distance from live parts.
