Page 22. I hope she had done a proper risk assesment and was wearing a hi viz bikini - anything else would be dangerous.



In article , ARW scribeth thus

Well apart from that a very interesting read on RCD units etc;)...

Yes, including a very interesting section on the causes of spurious tripping (p. 36, 9.1 onward).

Surely all bikinis are hi viz? They get noticed very quickly!

But that's an interesting book.

Section 2.3 says that currents between 5 and 10 mA. may make it impossible for the victim to let go, especially if female, but elsewhere it says that that level of current may not kill. Which sounds like slow torture. Not nice at all.

Perhaps a reference to this ought be in the Wiki?..
