Answer / arunava
"At currents as low as 60 to 100 milliamperes, low-voltage
(110-220 volts), 60-hertz alternating current traveling
through the chest for a split second can cause
life-threatening irregular heart rhythms. About 300-500
milliamperes of direct current is needed to have the same
effect."

Answer / suresh sbit
Only 10 milli amperes (0.0001 amps) plugged into a standard
110 to 120 volt socket will provide enough current to kill
a person through the heart is enough to kill a
human..........
Voltage doesn't kill you it is the amperage.

Answer / pradyumna chandra panda
A person feel shock by 24 volt / 35 mili amp but it depend on iron contain in blood, and total resistance offer by body. the person kill by shock it depend on plasma contain in the blood , time period and heart mental conditon of the victime. A person may kild by 230 volt ac in 10 minut and escape from 11 kv for few second , there is less dc voltage required to kill a person in less period than ac voltage.

Answer / alpz
50 mA to 75mA can coz paralysis with no pulse or
respiration that leads to death,
and greater than 100mA effect is ventricular fibrillation
causing almost instantaneous death.

Answer / krupa reddy s
usually the shock is due to voltage not bcz of
current...minimum of 30v r required to feel a shock.. may
be 230v ac is enough for a person to die..in domestic
wiring we r using (210-230 v)of supply and 5A of current
this is enough to kill a person..
but dont kill any one..

Answer / nagaraj singh
The Person body crosse the 300 mili amps then the person
will be dai.

i know only this a human body feel a jerk of current when voltagebetween 30/40 volt

what is use of capacitor in fan
we all know that in capacitor there will be no ay physical connection between the two electrodes of the capacitor ,and the charge is stored between these electrodes during charging , so with out any physical connection how these charge is transferred from one plate to the another plate during the discharge?????
what are the analog quality input for protection function?what are minimum reqiments?
fuses rated by amperes but not power,why?
what will happen if phases are not shorted with neutral in transformer impedance test? and if neutral is not connected with ground?
what is a,b,c,d checks diesel generator?
63MVA,220KV/6.9KV Transformer LV side neutral is connected to Earth pit through NGR. Whether this earth pit required to connect with near by below grouding earth mat or it is to be kept separate?
what is the knee point voltage ? what is differtial rela? what is impedance and % of impedane? what is the postive phase sequance ? negative phase sequane ? and zero sequance impedance ? what is sortcircuit calculaion? why take calculation? define stabilty test ? why? what sentivity test? define merz protection ? what is the burden ? class 5p10, accracy, metering ct take knee point voltage test thet time what heppan why dont take knee point test to metering ct?
can v use earth as nutral. yes than y.if not y.
Any Electrical Engineering jobs?Please refer for interviews. Thank you
if any one phase of the 11kv/415v distribution transformer not delivering the supply voltage what will happen
how many types of ratings are there of transformer
