Thus spake joe mcguckin <joe () via net>:
It only takes 30ma to put your heart into atrial fibrillation. In the
usa, gfi's are set to trip at 5ma.

Did you mean 5A, or am I misunderstanding GFIs?

Normally 48VDC wouldn't be considered a 'lethal' voltage (I've talked
to telephone technicians who said they used to play a game in the CO
by wiring a handle to 90V ring voltage and seeing who could grab it
for the longest time),

That explains so many things...
