Electricity in a filled bathub
According to Tom Horne, Electrician :
It takes around thirty milliamperes; that's three tenths of an ampere;
to kill, sixteen amperes to trip the breaker on overload, and up to
seventy five amperes to trip it magnetically via it's instantaneous
trip. Does that answer your question?
It should ;-) But 30ma is three hundredths of an amp. 3/10s
of an amp is 300ma ;-)
