High Tension Alert: Engineers Reveal the Shocking Dangers of Extreme Voltage Spikes In an era where electricity powers nearly every aspect of modern life, extreme voltage spikes pose a silent but severe threat to infrastructure, equipment, and personal safety. Engineers across power systems, electrical engineering, and industrial safety sectors have recently sounded the alarm: unchecked voltage spikes—especially high-tension surges—can cause catastrophic failures, fires, equipment damage, and even loss of life. Recent studies and real-world incidents underscore just how dangerous these extreme voltage fluctuations truly are. ### What Are Extreme Voltage Spikes? Voltage spikes—also known as transient overvoltages—are sudden, brief increases in electrical voltage beyond normal operating levels. While minor fluctuations occur routinely, extreme spikes result from lightning strikes, grid switching, equipment failures, or inductive load changes. When these spikes exceed safe thresholds, they overwhelm insulation, degrade connectors, and trigger unstable current flows—posing serious risks.
