La electrocución de una estrella del rock

The transcript recounts a tragic incident where guitarist Philip Handley was electrocuted during a concert due to a lack of proper safety devices. It explains the dangers of electrical currents, highlighting that even small currents can be fatal. The text emphasizes the importance of using residual current devices (RCDs) to prevent such accidents. It concludes with a reflection on the lessons learned and the adoption of safety measures to prevent future incidents.

What was the main cause of the tragic incident involving Philip Handley?

• A faulty microphone

• A malfunctioning amplifier

• A broken guitar string

• A power outage

Why are fuses not sufficient to prevent electrocution?

• They are difficult to install

• They blow at currents too high to prevent electrocution

• They only prevent fires

• They are too expensive

How much current is enough to cause the heart to stop?

• 50 milliamps

• 10 milliamps

• 200 milliamps

• 100 milliamps

What is the primary function of a residual current device (RCD)?

• To reduce electricity bills

• To monitor and balance current in active and neutral wires

• To increase the voltage

• To enhance sound quality

What precaution is suggested to prevent electrocution during performances?

• Playing acoustic instruments only
