The human body can be electrocuted by as little as 10 milliamps (mA) of current.
Remember that voltage is a measure of the pressure driving the current, while
amperage measures how much current flows through something (in this case,
you). Also keep in mind that 10 mA is 1/100 of an ampere; it doesn't take that
much to disrupt a heartbeat. Too much voltage is whatever it takes, between
the two points where the circuit contacts your body, to drive 0.01 ampere of
current through your heart.
Another AnswerToo much voltage is whatever voltage causes its insulation to break down.

Can a 24 volt Black and Decker battery be used on a 18 volt Black and Decker portable vacumn?
no it will burn the vacuum out too much voltage
What will happen if this 4.5 v bulb is connected to a 1.5 v cell?
The bulb need the correct voltage to operate. Your bulb would light if it is a 1.5 volt light. So the voltage of the supply and the light must be matched. Too little voltage won't light the light, too much will light it too much and blow it up.
What is the voltage for 60hz?
Let me want to know 60Hz with how much voltage is available
What happens when using a 240 volt fuses on a 480 volt 3-phase system?
The voltage rating of a fuse has to do with how long the fuse is / how much dielectric strength exists between the two terminals that don't melt. If you use a fuse that is rated for too low of a voltage, it will likely melt for a fault condition, but the voltage is too high for the gap distance, so an arc will develop across the (open) fuse. So...the fuse does no good. It will not protect equipment if used at a higher voltage than it is rated.
What happen to 9.5v if it is plug into 220V outlet?
Anything of such voltage will be burnt if plugged in a 230v socket outlet because the voltage is too high.
What does it mean map sensor voltage too high?
When it says the map sensor voltage is too high, this means that too much voltage is reaching the sensor. This can be a result of a failed component or a shorted wire coming into the sensor.
What is a Filko voltage regulator type VRD-444HD for?
A voltage regulator is just as it says. It regulates the voltage that the alternator in your vehicle puts out. Too much voltage and you'll overamp your wiring, and too little can cause parts not to function properly.

Why would a car have too much voltage and cause the engine control fuse to blow?
Have the alterntor and voltage regulator checked.
What burns your spark plug coil?
excessive voltage usually. can be caused by a voltage spike at the alternator, a computer sending too much voltage, or poor wiring
How do you define voltage regulator?
A voltage regulator is a part of the engine that keeps the vehicle from sending too much electricity through the engine from the battery.
Why TRIACS blow?
You exceed the power dissipation capability of the device and it burns up. Too much voltage across the terminals , too much current being passed through it, reverse voltage spikes can all cause the triac to "blow".
Why isn't lighting used for electricity?
Too much, at too high a voltage. We have not yet developed the technology to harness it - but we'd like to.
My vw jetta gls 1997 produces to much voltage what would happen if i installed a baluster restrictor?
If your VW Jetta produces too much voltage, installing a baluster restrictor will not help.
How does High and Low voltage cut out circuit works if voltage varies?
I assume you mean - 'Why does a circuit fail to work if the operating voltage is too high or too low?' A certain specific voltage is needed to overcome the natural resistance in circuit components. For instance in simple transistors, this is 0.7V to get the transistor to switch on and 1.4V is lost across the switched junction. This is why may circuits operate at above 3V. The rest of the circuit is designed to operate at the specified voltage and if you go too high, too much current will flow through the circuit and it will fail in the same way a fuse will blow if too much current is passed through it.
Why would dashlights brighten upon acceleration?
It means that the voltage is going up as the alternator spins faster. 4 posibilities; 1 Your battery is dying and the alternator is working harder to charge it when you accelerate. The lights are comming up to full brightness. 2 You have a bad connection at the battery terminals or frame ground and the battery can't hold the voltage down. The lights are receiving too much voltage and are more likely to fail. 3 The voltage regulator on the alternator is failing and overcharging the battery. The lights are receiving too much voltage and are more likely to fail. 4 The battery needs water. The lights are receiving too much voltage and are more likely to fail.
Can a Nintendo Wii be fixed when damaged by too much voltage It's a Japanese Wii which was pluged into an Australian socket?
No.
