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? 🙃


Way to completely and utterly ignore pathways through the body. MANY people survive serious shocks simply because the current doesn’t pass through vital organs. See: literally ANY lightning strike survivor, or any idiot that survived touching high voltage lines.
The true, and ONLY reason people survive, is because the electricity that DID conduct through their body, did not conduct through critical body structures, like the brain-to-heart connection. Very little else matters. Someone can “survive” a lightning strike or electrical industrial accident, yet be a vegetable for the rest of their lives.
It is EXACTLY why the only correct course of action during an unprotected thunderstorm when you feel the static charge building, is to crouch down and put as much meat between your head and the ground as possible (by cupping your head and making sure your thighs, lower legs, and arms are in contact as much as possible). Then, if you get struck, it’s the meat that takes the hit instead of your brain and core nervous system, “ideal” circumstances.
