Would you make this clear for me.WHERE IS THIS (EFFECTIVE 12 A?!)
CURRENT MEANT TO FLOW THROUGH?HAND TO HAND POWER OF THIS MAGNITUDE (> 5
KW) DEVELOPED IN BODY WOULD BE AFTER VERY SHORT TIME FATAL TO
MAN(REGARDING JUST HEAT).EVEN THROUGH THE LARGE CONTACT SURFACES (PATH
CHEST-BACK) 12 A/surface current "density" is very problematic.(I have
data that more of 1 kw developed over any part of body shouldn't be
reached(overheating!).

Petkovic Boris.
