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? 🙃

    Its the volts that jolt, but the mills that kills is the saying I know.

    What is left out is resistance, everything has resistance. Air, skin, clothes, whatever you are standing on. Sufficient resistance will protect you.
