Question for sparkies: Heated towel rail, lighting circuit

[CookMySock]

So it would be alot simpler just to get a sparky in the first place.

But a lot less fun.

[St_Gabriel]

are you switching the rail?

either way, as long as earthy gets eartheyed there should be no problem. general lighting circuits are not earthyed.

huh?

i was wondering about all this two core in the roof.... magic earth eh?

i've grounded 240v, as a child of ~10. lasted more than a few seconds before i kicked it off.
wouldn't want to do it again, but not fatal.
unfortunately didn't have the ammeter on me to check the current but it didn't blow the fuse so not massively more than 10.

simple question, at what voltage, AC/DC, is one amp lethal?

Akzle: you are a FUCKING IDIOT, please refrain from giving advice on things of which you know nothing at all before you are responsible for killing someone.

And to answer your question about the current (not voltage) required to kill someone, it can be as little as 20mA AC over less than two cycles of frequency in the correct (incorrect) circumstances.

you only need as much current that interferes with your own current to send your heart into fibulation, the excess just cooks.

Don't be so mean. If he did that he wouldn't be able to post at all...
