I know a person who gets an electric shock touching 12V DC because his body's electrical resistance is very low. Most people I know and tested have a resitance between two fingers of 20 to 30kOhm. On the other extreme, I have more than 1MOhm. > > As mentioned before, a workshop in addition must use an isolating > > transformer, by this galvanic isolation you can't get an electric I highly doubt this. Only larger workshops have a transformer. They are getting 20kV and more supplied and need the transformer for a different reason. Erich
