Well, then 230V RMS is 650V peak to peak it means 1.3 Mohm, but why does on= e gets a shock even when he uses shoes.. if I measure my resistance to earth = in such a situation, it will be in the gigaohm side.. does it mean that e.g. w= ood shoes have a low breakdown voltage? Only that can explain it, I think. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
