    Yup, I used to be a mobile crane operator...the safety videos on electric lines and cranes...that'll scare ya straight! The rule is that no part of the crane can be closer than 10' to any line that is 50KV or less. The distance grows as the voltage goes up

    The primary isn't anything different(sometimes a whole lot lower arc potential actually) the only difference is it can jump a bigger air gap.
    The secondary of every transformer (provided we're talking step down) has substantially more incident arc energy,the blast that maims or kills you. It only takes 1/10A (100 milliamps) to cause death and voltages over 50V can penetrate the skin.
