Abstract
Recently underground electrical power distribution is increased because people attach importance to aesthetics of the downtown areas. Lew-voltage handhole of underground distribution line for joint and branch point is mainly installed at the sidewalk. So, pedestrian can get a electric shock if fault is occurred in the low-voltage handhole. Furthermore the street was flooded by recently an unusual change in the weather. Fault is occurred in the low-voltage handhole that may create a shock hazard for the human body because a person's body resistance lower due to effect of water. This paper analyses causes of electric shock accidents and check results at the low-voltage handhole. At a result of analysis, the causes of electric shock accidents in domestic and foreign low-voltage handhole are same but environmental conditions of low-voltage handhole are different In the future, the analytical data can be applied to prevent the electric shock at the low-voltage handhole, and can be used to basic data for the improving installment of low-voltage handhole.
