minus-square@Scrollone@feddit.itlinkfedilink2•10 months agoThere’s a problem, though. You can get shocked by the US voltage and be fine. But try that with the European 50 Hz 240 V…
minus-square@Zak@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•10 months ago But try that with the European 50 Hz 240 V I have. It hurts more. It’s probably somewhat more dangerous than 110V if the circuit goes from one hand, through the chest, into the other hand. Most shocks involving a plug just go through a finger.
