  1. E.P.Z. Step Potential is the voltage value between the span of one step. Each foot is referenced to a different potential or voltage. This difference of voltage is called a Step Potential Hazard. STEP POTENTIAL Equal Potential Zone HAZARD Voltage values that equal each other are of the same potential and put you in the same position as a bird on the wire. 110 kv 5 kV Difference 105 kv 100 kv 95 kv Never walk or run from a downed power line HOP or SHUFFLE TO SAFETY. Keep your feet at the same potential G.P.R. Ground Potential Rise When an energized line makes contact with ground the earth becomes hot and the voltage dissipates in concentric circles away from the initial contact point.
