An electrical shock is the result of a current flowing through the human
body. The resulting effect depends on the intensity and duration of the
current and on its path through the body. Currents in the range of
approximately ½ mA can cause effects in persons with good health, and
indirectly cause injuries resulting from startle responses. Higher currents
can cause more direct effects, such as burns, muscle spasms, or
ventricular fibrillation.
In dry conditions permanent voltages up to approximately 42.4 V peak or
60 V are not considered as dangerous if the contact area is equivalent to
the size of a human hand.
