Electrical Safety Demos

High Voltage Demonstration (For All Ages)

MVEA’s high voltage demonstration is a 1-hour safety demo suitable for all age groups. MVEA lineworkers use a custom-built stage that replicates powerlines to demonstrate arching electricity and various types of power line equipment. Additionally, the crew emphasizes safety by demonstrating what could happen to a person’s body and heart if they were to be electrocuted using hot dogs and grapefruit to simulate. Because of the high voltage needed for this option, the demonstration location will need to be verified ahead of time.
