Electricity is the backbone for modern industrialization, development and day to day needs. Electrical Injuries are among the most devastating of burn injuries. High voltage electrical injuries result in extensive deep tissue damage and are associated with multiple complications, long term morbidity and a high mortality rate. The passage of electric current when passes through the body, it produces wide range effects, varying from insignificant localised spasm, little or no contact burns, fatality with little or no burns or extreme severe burning. We describe the case of a 35-year-old male driver who suffered high voltage electric injury of anterior abdominal wall and left upper limb due to accidental contact with high tension wire. This paper also emphasizes the safety measures to be taken at work place pertaining to high voltage cable.
