AB  - Electrical  injuries  are  divided  into  high-voltage  injuries  (≥1000  V),  low-voltage  injuries  (<1000  V),  and  electric  arc  flash  burns,  which  by  definition  do  not  result  in  passage  of  current  through  the  tissues.  Lightning  injury  is  an  extreme  and  unique  form  of  electrical  injury.  This  chapter  also  discusses  injuries  caused  by  electronic  control  devices,  such  as  the  Taser®.  Burns  from  electrical  accidents  can  result  from  heating  due  to  electric  current  flow  through  tissues,  explosions,  and  burning  of  flammable  liquids,  clothes,  and  other  objects.  Burns  are  discussed  in  the  chapter  216,  "Thermal  Burns."
