The IET is carrying out some important updates between 17-30 April and all of our websites will be view only. For more information, read this Announcement
ProMbrooke:
A handle on a fridge, tool, pole ect becomes a large contact surface area. Both feet on the ground with wet shoes. In fact with a power tool its possible to have both hands on it at the time of a fault.
IEC 60479 gives 850 ohms at 125 volts with salt water.
Water wet would be places where wet hands are common or likely to be found: pools, spas, bathrooms, greenhouses, sinks, outdoors.
Children are a difficult challenge as ethical issues are raised as to whether or not they can consent in scientific experiments. However, considering smaller hands and thus contact area the difference may not be so big. At least resistance wise. Whether or not children have a lower ventricular fibrillation threshold would be impossible to test for, for obvious reasons.
