People in the Uk mostly asking the same question can I get the electric shock from the TV aerial connection. Because they are conscious of their children and other family members. Sometimes people have a curiosity to know that can they get shock from the cutted wire? Mostly installers check the current during tv aerial installation. In this article we will tell you everything about this problem.
Do TV Aerial Cables Carry Current?
It is obvious the TV aerial cable carries the current. Without current how the cables can run the TV. Through the cables TV aerial will bring the radio waves and transfer to your TV. This is only possible by the electromagnetic waves and for this electric current should be compulsory. The electric current in the cable is actually the signals which are actually containing the more frequency the main electric circuit. But you can cut the wire because the voltages are low in it. The signal level in the wire is 65 dBV which is equal to 1mV, that cannot actually be felt when you touch or grab the wire.
Usually when TV aerial installation is under process it is connected to the DC power line to deliver the current to the coaxial cable at the same time and other equipment. The same phenomenon applies where the power supply is providing current for the masthead amplifier and line power of the skybox. The current to the amplifier will allow the control on the equipments of the TV aerial from the any space of the house.
So the end of discussion is you will not get the electric shock from the TV aerial because there is minor amount of the voltages in the coaxial cable that you will never fee when you will grab the wire for the cutting or something else.
