At what level of current are you likely to be in danger of death?

The level of current you are most likely to be in danger of death depends on the path of current flow through your body, and on the frequency of that current.
With sufficient current, there is always the danger of burns, usually on the surface of the skin, which is particularly an issue with high voltage.
The most sensitive organ is the heart. Interestingly, frequency is a big factor. If you were to apply DC, it would simply stop and then start, assuming you did not apply enough to cause internal damage. If you were to apply AC, with the right frequency, and with just the right current, you can do irreversible damage to the heart's pacemaker, the sino-atrial node. The heart would then enter irreversible ventricular fibrillation, and you would die.
It turns out that the most dangerous current is about 1 ma, at 60 hz, applied directly across the heart. Depending on external skin resistance, this translates to around 120 AC, 60 hz, applied from hand to hand, with the current path through the chest.

∙ 9y agoAccording to the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (UK), for a.c., 'low voltage' is defined as being between 50V and 1000 V (between conductors) or between 50 V and 600 V to earth (ground). So, yes, low voltage can most definitely kill!

If a 6.6KV Motor run at 415V then what happen to its current and RPM?
Current shall increase while you apply 415V for operating it and will decrease the rpm to a much low level.
What is level transmitter?
It just transmits the level of the fluid into electric signal to level indicator and this level indicator will show current level of fluid.The whole setup is used for level measurement. A Level Transmitter is simply an instrument that provides continuous level measurement. Level transmitters can be used to determine the level of a given liquid or bulk-solid at any given time. This is different to a level switch which only alarms when the level of material (liquid or bulk-solid) reaches a predetermined level.
The only way to stop a 4 layers diode that is conducting is by?
To cause a Shockley diode to stop conducting, reduce the current going through it to a level below its low-current dropoutthreshold.
Techniques required for increasing the input impedance?

What do you mean by fault MVA?
This describes what is known as the 'fault level' at a particular point in an electricity transmission or distribution system, expressed in megavolt amperes, enabling the theoretical value of fault current to be calculated at that point in the system, in order to ensure that the relevant switchgear is capable of interrupting that level of fault current.

How long will is the statute of limitation for hit and run case?
That will depend on the level of the crime. If there was a death involved, there is very likely no limit.
