What would be an intelligent responce?

I shall not waste any more energy responding any future.

That did not work out did it? :lol:


I have typed such things before but never post them because you and I are alike in that we just can't shut up. :jawdrop:

A single pole 120 volt GFCI breaker opens at 4 to 6 milliamps
A Double pole 240 amp GFCI breaker opens at 4 to 6 milliamps

What changed? Was it the frequency? Was it the voltage? Was it the amperage? Why?

Mike that is just plan silly.

Neither the single pole nor the two pole GFCI circuity protect at all against 240 volt ground faults.

In both cases the GFCIs will be responding to a victim getting 120 or less volts through them. If the victim is geting more than 120 volts through them on that two pole circuit it is a line to lin shock which the GFCI will ignore.

ROFLMAO Finaly we agree :lol:

This question is always presented as an either / or type issue and IMO it is not either / or it is both.

You can have voltage without current, you can't have current without voltage. So like the gun example you need both in the right combination to kill you.

So I will stick with it is electricity that kills, not exclusively the voltage or exclusively the current.

I absolutely agree.
