the same type and rating only after equipment has been disconnected from AC
power. If problem persists, return equipment to qualified service technician
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
Especially in sound equipment on stage the following information is essential
to know.
An electrical shock is caused by voltage and current, actually it is the current
that causes the shock.
In practise the higher the voltage the higher the current will be and the higher
the shock.
But there is another thing to consider and it is resistance. When the resistance
in Ohms is high between two poles, the current will be low and vica versa.
All three of these; voltage, current. and resistance are important in determining
the effect of an electrical shock.
However, the severity of a shock primarily determined by the amount of
current flowing through a person.
A person can feel a shock because the muscles in a body respond to electrical
current and because the heart is a muscle it can affect, when the current is high
enough. Current can also be fatal when it causes the chest muscles to contract
and stop breathing. At what potential is current dangereous.
Well the first feeling of current is a tingle at 0.001 Amp of current. The current
between 0.1 Amp and 0.2 Amp is fatal.
