I started at a young age.. and have been zapped more than once!
It's not the voltage that kills you, but the amps...I've been bit by 110 more than I can count.
I've worked with 220, 208, 277, 460, 480, and 600v equipment, and thankfully never been bit by any of those.
Doing something stupid did that hand to hand 110v. Knew I dodged the big one.It's not the voltage that kills you, but the amps...
At 1-4.3 amps "rhythmic pumping of the heart ceases, and death is likely". Although unlikely, humans have died from shocks with as little as 42 volts. Avoid situations where the current could flow from your one hand to your other, grounded hand, since your heart is in between. Better to get 'zapped' from your hand through your body and out your leg!
You still look good RC, cool pinstripe suit hey..
