Hazardous electrical shock can be avoided by carefully follow ing the above rules.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION VERY CAREFULLY
Voltage and current cause an electrical shock. In practice the higher the v oltage the higher the
current w ill be and the higher the shock. However, there is another thing to consider and that is
resistance. When the resistance in Ohms is high between tw o poles, the current will be low and
visa v ersa. All three of these; v oltage, current and resistance are important in determining the
effect of an electrical shock.
The severity of a shock is caused by the amount of current flowing through a person.
A person can feel a shock because the muscles in a body respond to electric current. Current
can also be fatal when it causes the chest muscles to contract and stop breathing.
At w hat potential is current dangerous? Well the first feeling of current is a tingle at 0.001 Amp
of current. The current between 0.1 Amp and 0.2 Amp is fatal.
Imagine that your home fuses of 16 Amp can handle 200 times more current than is necessary
to kill. How does resistance affect the shock a person feels? A typical resistance between your
tw o hands "dry" condition could be w ell over 100,000 Ohm. But if your body is transpiring
extensiv ely your body resistance is lowered by more than 50%. This is a situation in w hich
current can easily flow .
Always earth all your equipment by the grounding pin in your main plug. Proper wiring and
isolation input/output transformers should only cure hum loops.
Always replace fuses with the same type and rating after the equipment has been turned off
and unplugged. If the fuse blow s again you hav e an equipment failure. Do not use it again and
return it to your dealer for repair.
And last but not least be careful not to touch a person being shocked as you, yourself could
also be shocked. Once removed from the shock, have someone send for medical help
immediately!
Always keep the above-mentioned information in
mind when using electrically powered equipment.
