Is 575 volt more deadly than 220 volt as it draws less amps than the 220 and I thought it was the amps that were dangerous?

Yes 575 volts is more deadly than 220 volts. The higher the voltage becomes the higher the current becomes through a set resistance.
A normal dry body's resistance from thumb to thumb is about 2.6 meg ohms.
This is the body's outside resistance from point to point and not the body's internal resistance.
The body's internal resistance is in the neighbourhood of 1000 ohms.
Using a voltage of 220, the formula is , Amps = 220/1000 = .22 amps or 220 milliamps
Using a voltage of 575, the formula is , Amps = 575/1000 = .575 amps or 575 milliamps.
As you can see as the voltage goes up so does the amperage.
The following list is the tolerances that the body can stand. Remember 1 amp is equal to 1000 milliamps.
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.

How many amps does a 5000-watt inverter draw from a 24 volt system?
it draws 210 amps
What size breaker should you use for a unit that draws 58 running amps?
70 amp
10kw heater at 220V draws how many amps?
45-50 amps. But your overcurrent protection and wire must be designed for 125% of load so the max overcurrent protection is 55 amps or 60
What size wire is needed for a piece of equipment that draws 28 amps?
A #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps.
How much power does a device that operates on 12 volts and draws 7 amps consume?
84 watts
How many amperes does a standard 60 watt light bulb use?
Watts = Volts X Amps. Amps=Watt / Volts. So, with a 240V mains, a 60W bulb draws 0.25amps. On a 12 system (car/auto) a 60W bulb draws 5 amps. On a 110V mains, a 60W bulb draws .55 Amps.
Why is it dangerous to pass to much current through the mains cable?
Current or AMPS are what the appliance draws or load of the appliance. So, if you have a say 10,000 amps going thru a cable rated for say 1,000 amps , guess what ,the cable over heats and either will melt or at least catch fire.

If you have a machine that draws 5 amps can it be used on a 30 amp circuit?
Yes
Are volts or amps more dangerous?
no

45-50 amps. But your overcurrent protection and wire must be designed for 125% of load so the max overcurrent protection is 55 amps or 60
How many televisions can be run off of a 15 amp breaker?
It depends on how many amps each TV draws. The continuous load should be 80% of teh breaker or 12 amps. If an average TV draws 2.5 amps that would be 4 TVs. Look for a rating plate on TV and just add the currents up.
Are electric baseboard heaters efficient?
Amps and Watts measure different things. An Amp is a measure of electrical current and a Watt is a measure of Power. Which ever device draws the higher amperage will be the one that uses more electricity! Hence the 240 watt heater draw less amps even though it uses more watts: Volts Watts/Electical Current Amps/Power example heater 240 volt draws 2000/1000 watts - but uses 8.3/4.2 amps example heater 120 volt draws 1500/750 watts - but uses 12.5/6.3 amps
What size wire is needed for a piece of equipment that draws 28 amps?
A #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps.
If two electrical loads are connected in parallel with each other and each load draws 6 amps what is the total current of the circuit?
12 Amperes is.
How much power does a device that operates on 12 volts and draws 7 amps consume?
84 watts
