High-frequency electricity shock risk

High-frequency electricity shock risk

High-frequency electricity shock risk

(OP)
I am looking for studies assessing the risk of shock from high-frequency electricity. Another way of phrasing my question: What is the impedance of the human body as a function of electrical frequency? Thank you.

RE: High-frequency electricity shock risk

I was always told 400 Hz acts like DC.

RE: High-frequency electricity shock risk

That is not true at all, and you shouldn't rely on anecdotal information. When a load has capacitance or inductance, the impedance will change with respect to frequency.
