Default Ouch- eletrocution

What was the voltage? 25kV?


Looks likely. The first electrification schemes in India were 1500V
DC and I believe this still exists in a few places (or they have
recently been changed to 25kV). There were then a few at 3000V DC,
but these have been replaced. However, since the 1960s 25kV AC has
been used and all lines will be/have been converted to this.
