I'm looking a NEC or other ?standard? that provides a definition or method of calculating the magnitude of a hazardous or lethal current level that can be delivered by a capacitor.
Specifically, the capacitor (0.33 microF) is charged to 298 volts. There is 1150 ohms of series resistance in the discharge circuit. If memory serves, there is 0.0147 joules stored in the cap.
If a person completes the discharge path, is the resulting current flow a legal hazard?
Can you provide or direct me to a rule or definition from some "standard" that will provide the formulas to clearly state whether or not this condition is a legal hazard.
Thanks
