Why can't I fly a kite under the high-voltage line?

Flying a kite near the transmission line is very easy to hang on the transmission line, and it will get wet when it rains, which may lead to short circuit and leakage, potential safety hazards, and even a large-scale power outage, which will bring huge economic losses.

Although kite strings are mostly non-conductive nylon ropes, nylon ropes will conduct electricity once they are wet. At present, there are kites with conductive steel wire as the skeleton on the market, and the possibility of kite conduction also increases. Once there is a conductive substance on the kite, when it touches or is close to the high-voltage line, the high-voltage line will transmit high-voltage electricity to people through the kite line, which may cause direct harm to the kite-flying person or nearby passers-by.

Moreover, if the kite is wound on the high-voltage line and then hung on the adjacent wires, it will lead to tripping, resulting in a large area of short circuit and power failure.

Therefore, please choose an open place to fly kites.
