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.

What home appliance draws the most amps?
A clothes dryer typically draws the most amps among common home appliances, with an average of around 20 amps.
How many amps does a 750 watt 120 volt heater draw?
To find the current in amps that a 750 watt, 120 volt heater draws, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 750 watts divided by 120 volts equals 6.25 amps. Therefore, the heater draws approximately 6.25 amps.
How many amps does a 5000-watt inverter draw from a 24 volt system?
A 5000-watt inverter on a 24 volt system draws approximately 208 amps (5000 watts / 24 volts = 208.33 amps). This calculation assumes 100% efficiency, so actual power draw may be slightly higher.
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 amperage a 194 series bulb draws?
The 194 bulb is ~3.8 watts, at 14 volts they draw 0.271 amps.
What home appliance draws the most amps?
A clothes dryer typically draws the most amps among common home appliances, with an average of around 20 amps.
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.
How many amps does a dishwasher draw when in operation?
A dishwasher typically draws around 10-12 amps when in operation.
How many amps does a 750 watt 120 volt heater draw?
To find the current in amps that a 750 watt, 120 volt heater draws, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 750 watts divided by 120 volts equals 6.25 amps. Therefore, the heater draws approximately 6.25 amps.
How many amps does a 240v well pump draw?
A 240V well pump typically draws around 10-15 amps.
If you have a machine that draws 5 amps can it be used on a 30 amp circuit?
Yes
How many amps does a 5000-watt inverter draw from a 24 volt system?
A 5000-watt inverter on a 24 volt system draws approximately 208 amps (5000 watts / 24 volts = 208.33 amps). This calculation assumes 100% efficiency, so actual power draw may be slightly higher.
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?
The total current in the circuit would be 12 amps. When electrical loads are connected in parallel, the currents add up. So if each load draws 6 amps, the total current would be the sum of both loads, which is 6 + 6 = 12 amps.
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.
