who is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of the circuit.
Ground
A connection between an electrical device and the Earth or at the voltage defined as zero (in the U.S.,
called ground; in the UK, called earth).
Harmonized Code
An international coding system for specifying the attributes of cord voltages, jackets, diameters, etc..
Hertz
Measurement of frequency, equaling one cycle per second, U.S. devices are typically 60 Hertz and
international devices are typically 60 hertz.
