[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2908531, member: 7629"] yes amps kills but voltage plays an important part also. just out of high school, I worked at a plating shop. if memory is correct we'd use about 15v with say a 500amp rectifier for clear/color anodizing. for hard anodizing we'd be using high as 48v+ with a 1,000amp rectifier for runs with large aircraft parts in a huge commercial size tank. we'd routinely clamp racks loaded with parts on to cathode bars suspended above tanks filled with copper cyanide at say 3v with a 200amp rectifier for copper plating, etc. etc. keep in we routinely operated in wet conditions under full power all day long. it takes higher voltages to overcome natural resistance in our shoes, skin, etc. supposedly anything over 30v can be dangerous. what's a concern for emergency workers is dealing with an electric car with lithium batteries that can discharge at huge amps.
