Agreed. Even less voltage than that can be fatal!

that says that "Death from an electric shock (ventricular fibrillation*)

can
occur when the touch voltage is above 30V RMS resulting in as little as

30
milliamperes of current flowing though the body. This can occur when
improper neutral-to-case connections are made and the neutral is

opened."

I like that Mike Holt site. I needed information a couple times
for my work. It explained things plainly.


Yes, agree. It's not just Mike writing, either, but a whole team of
electricians with knowledge it a lot of different areas. They always
provide plenty of background information and NEC citations to explain what
they're talking about. I invariably end up reading a lot more than what I
came to the site to look for because it's so well-written and interesting.
