Re: Help on tapping 450V DC out from 12-220V power Inverter
That's doing it old school yo! Hah. Don't forget to always keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back. At least, that's what the old timers have told me. Somehow, they were still alive to tell me this. You know, the guys that can't be bothered to shut off 480V while they hookup a circuit cuz it would slow production.
Oh P.S. I am not so sure those latex gloves are affording you anything other than a false sense of safety. I am not gonna harp on it or anything, just want to point it out.
Thanks for all the concerns, guys. The 9V story is interesting, didn't know breaking the skin
make such a big difference, so going forward, we should never play with electricity with a cut & band-aid on.
With the skin on, electricity travels along the skin, so 110 shock rarely kill people unless one touch the wire with palm & close on the wire due to muscle contraction.
Some electricians in Asia countries test 220V AC wires with bare hand some times, the rule is always test with back of the hand, the shock will bounce the hand away. Never touch with palm, as muscle contraction will cause grabbing the wire & won't let go
I am sure most of you have felt the jolt from 110V AC some time during your life?
DC Volt risk is rated roughly as 1/3 of AC risk, so 330V DC is about 110V AC in risk, which is lower risk than 220V AC. But still, I am not under estimating the risk, I'll be extremely careful.
