Vector visited Ruapotaka School this week
and we were pretty impressed with what
electricity can do!
We learned that the high wires of power lines carry 11,000 volts of electricity! Kaboom, if you touch them! We learned that a transformer changes the 11,000 volts to a safer amount that goes into our homes, whew, much better for keeping our whanau safe!
 |
| Estor told us all about the insulator that protects the wires from each other, (as well as all the other information). |
 |
| It was really impressive watching the robot blow up! |
 |
| Thank you for helping us understand about being safe with electricity Zot! |
 |
| Some people got to demonstrate the safety clothing and equipment that the Vector technicians wear when they fix power lines. These included a heavy jacket, thick rubber gloves, cloth gloves, helmet and safety glasses. |
 |
Thank you Christina and Ocean, you look great demonstrating the helmet and safety glasses!
