Subject: Re: 60601-1 and patient leakage current
Does anyone have measurements of the medical effects of
power-line-frequency current flowing in humans? Many years ago the IEEE
Power Engineering Society published data where the threshold was 200
milliamperes in power-line workers.
Thank you

Make it more like 10 uA

I don't have any specs to cite, but I personally know that 5 mA of 60 Hz (hand
to hand) is uncomfortable, and I stopped experimenting at 20 mA. You would
have to be extraordinarily motivated to go beyond that point.
