Rave said:actually, AC voltage would repel you while DC attract, to put it in simple terms
so when you do come in contact with AC volts in ur mains, ist partially yur reflexes pulling you away and mostly AC current at work
although, high voltages either AC or DC = instant toast

tifosi said:lol why would ac repel and dc attract
In ac, there's a point of no voltage, so u have a chance to pull urself back, so its only ur reflex at work, whereas in dc u have no chance cuz its coninuous in most cases. that's why at lower voltages dc is more dangerous.
but yea, at 25kV, doesnt matter whether its ac or dc
Once I was setting up something of UPs and by mistake the ups went on . and if i remember correctly it felt same as AC . but batteries dont give ac . dont they ?Rave said:actually, AC voltage would repel you while DC attract, to put it in simple terms

6pack said:^ insulated ofcourse, else no one would be going to work and Hitler would be kicking himself in his grave for not thinking about plan that earlier.

Sei said:[OT] I get static shocks all the time. Whether I touch someone or something like the car door. It's damn irritating. And when it starts it goes on for like weeks at a stretch. Does it happen to anyone else ? :ashamed: [/OT]
