Low-Voltage Electrical Burn of the First Web Space of the Hand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Figure 1. Full thickness electrical burn to the first web space of the left hand showing exposed tendons. DESCRIPTION A 34-year-old right-hand-dominant man sustained an electrical injury to his left hand while handling a 450-volt cable. He presented with deep burns to the first web space and the dorsal aspect of the index finger. The excision of the eschar resulted in exposure of bare tendons (Fig 1).

متن کاملA review on electrical burn and its complications: review article
Although electrical energy is one of the best and cleanest energy sources, the proper protection and utilization of it, always and everywhere is problematic. One of the most important problems is electric shock and the dangers that can sometimes be lost in the lives of people. When a body or part of it is completely located in a strong power supply field or a contact with a device that is conne...
متن کاملSpace Vector Pulse Width Modulation with Reduced Common Mode Voltage and Current Losses for Six-Phase Induction Motor Drive with Three-Level Inverter
Common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the inverter causes motor bearing failures in multiphase drives.On the other hand, presence of undesired z-component currents in six-phase induction machine (SPIM) leads to extra current losses and have to be considered in pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. In this paper, it is shown that the presence of z-component currents and CMV in six phase driv...

Photovoltaic systems integrated to the grid have received considerable attention around the world. They can be connected to the electrical grid via galvanic isolation (transformer) or without it (transformerless). Despite making galvanic isolation, low frequency transformer increases size, cost and losses. On the other hand, transformerless PV systems increase the leakage current (common-mode c...
