fun fact we learned in my classes to become an industrial electrician: hey did you know how much amperage it takes to kill you?
0.7a
thats ZERO POINT SEVEN. LESS THAN ONE AMP. what's that? household circuits are 15-20 amps? (in america (standardized amperage and voltage varies between countries)) WHY YES THEY ARE !!!!
that's split and transformed way way down in both amp and volts from the overhead lines, btw, which google says average 700amps
were they hitting these numbers in the days of early electricity? unknown, but as aforementioned. it don't take much. be afraid.
