ExiledInIllinois Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Common voltage is 220v in Spain... Not saying that 110v can't kill you, but for a Euro, you'd think they'd raise the children better than not to mess, well in this case piss, on 2 hots... God only knows if the thing was grounded or what kinda codes they have on a Med Island... Probably "Third Worldesque?" Edited September 2, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) its not the voltage, its the current that kills you I've been hit by 10K volts before but the current was only a few miliamps (no need for stupid jokes now) Edited September 2, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever

But, oh it is the voltage too in this case! What street light circuit is low amps....
DC Tom Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 its not the voltage, its the current that kills you I've been hit by 10K volts before but the current was only a few miliamps (no need for stupid jokes now) No, it's neither the voltage nor the current. It's the resistance.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 actually if the resistance is the same the higher the V the lower the current 1 Ohm, 1 Volt would then generate 1 Ampere of Current. 1 Ohm, 2 Volt would then generate 1/2 Ampere of Current.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Boy... This has turned into a real electrical pissing contest. I bet the people on that circuit were really PO'd when they had to shut the power down.
Jon in Pasadena Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 actually if the resistance is the same the higher the V the lower the current 1 Ohm, 1 Volt would then generate 1 Ampere of Current. 1 Ohm, 2 Volt would then generate 1/2 Ampere of Current. Uh, no. 1 = 1 x 1 2 != 0.5 x 1
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Uh, no. 1 = 1 x 1 2 != 0.5 x 1 DOH I was thinking power P=IE (P=IV) :blush: Edited September 3, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever
