Recent statistical data regarding electric shock accidents have been analyzed to examine the electric shock accidents occurred at the voltage of 22,900[V], In order to demonstrate the mechanism of the 22,900[V] electric shock accident, a number of experiments to simulate electric shock accidents have been performed based on the analysis results. In the experiment, the current flowing through a human body model was measured to quantitatively analyze the hazards of the simulated electric shock accidents in various situations. As a result of the experiment, it was shown that once an electric shock accident occurred the accident proved fatal to the human body, regardless of electric shock situation.
