Re: Electrician Incinerated by High-voltage Electricity During Maintenance
When it comes to electricity the thing that will kill you is the amps. But you need enough voltage to push that current through. 10 milliamps (0.01 Amps) will severely shock you. 100 or more milliamps (0.1 amps) will kill you. To put that in perspective, most circuits in homes give out about .5 Amps. What kills most people too is how they end up holding the conductor. If you grab it with your hands, you won't let go & sizzle like bacon. If you touch it with the back of your hand though, your hand will bounce away. That is what firefighters do when they're inside a burning building. |

Re: Electrician Incinerated by High-voltage Electricity During Maintenance
I was wondering about that. Would death be quicker than in the electric chair? I would hate to think that this man any clarity as to what happened to him.
