PHAD (Powerline Hazard Awareness Demonstration) (3rd Grade and higher)
Time: approximately 40 minutes
Santee Cooper's PHAD unit is a mobile demonstration platform that simulates live power lines and gives the audience an opportunity to see an up-close and dynamic view of electricity. Life-size utility poles, actual electrical conductors, and distribution transformers are used. Each demonstration shows what can happen when objects such as animals, trees, ladders and kites come in contact with power lines.
Demonstrations are presented to schools, civic organizations, church groups, fire departments and other business and industry groups to help educate the public about the dangers and hazards associated with overhead and underground power lines.
