Abstract
With increasing use of electric fences, insect screens, and other devices having exposed electrodes, information on the magnitude of electric current that is safe for human beings becomes of great importance in determining regulations and safety codes. The authors report the results of experiments showing the maximum 60-cycle alternating current and direct current which the average man can withstand with reasonable safety.
