Edit: great approach to understand the matter: https://youtu.be/BGD-oSwJv3E?is=Fe1FimqTCvN-aY1u
I was looking at some transformers:

But also

If it outputs 12VA (12V * 1A) of apparent power, then it receives/works with (?) 12VA apparent power. That means that the current in my 230V wall outlet is 12 / 230 ≈ 0.05A. Even a button cell can supply 0.15A per hour… This leads my uninitiated head to believe, that it is mainly high voltages that are not compatible with life.
Please advise? 🙃


So there is two main ways electricity can kill you. One is frequency and two just plain old cooking you from high power. AC current at around 60 hz causes muscles to spaz out and stop functioning, like your heart. This require very little current but high voltage to meet the breakdown voltage of your skin. Also has to go through your heart. The second way is just being so high power you basically explode or cook the from touching it.
this also happens with dc once voltage is high enough
You so utterly inadequately explain the problem as to be misinformation yourself… congrats!
For a real explanation for how electricity kills, see electroboom or styropyro’s youtube videos on it.
