Hello Everyone,
Humor my electronics ignorance, but I have been wondering about this for a while now. I've read (and heard) that 'Volts hurt, Amps kill.' If you have a low enough amperage, you can have volts to arcing all over the place without any real danger. I've read that anything above 100 mA can be lethal. Does that mean that a 12 A (12000 mA) ESC can kill me? I understand there are very few situations in which your ESC would be pulling 12 A and your hands would be nearby, but hypothetically speaking...
I have a power supply (IMAX B6) that has a minimum amp setting as .1 A (100 mA). Is this something I should be extra careful with?
Thanks for the feedback - I'm looking forward to being educated!
