[Importance of the Z threshold of ventricular fibrillation in specification of touch voltage limits for protection against electric injuries] review

Die Bedeutung der Z-Schwelle des Herzkammerflimmerns für die Festlegung von Berührungsspannungsgrenzen bei den Schutzmaßnahmen gegen elektrische Unfälle

Endpoint

• effects on the cardiovascular system: ventricular fibrillation threshold, vulnerable period
• guidelines/safety: touch voltage limits and safety procedures
• experiments with dogs, pigs and sheep
• electrical injuries: perception threshold, let-go threshold

Exposure

• • 50/60 Hz
  • touch current
• • electric injuries/electrocution
• • low voltage
