Unnamed Administration sources reported that Stephen Sprunk said:
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?
5ma is correct. It takes very little current to cause fibrillation. GFI's compare the current going out the hot lead of a receptacle with that coming back the neutral. If there is more out than back, it makes the assumption the rest is going through Jill Winecooler/ Joe Sixpack to ground, and trips. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
