07/05/2009 2:17 PM

Anyone have links for this? All the hits I got were for 50/60 Hz. Thanks in advance.

I hope you're not one of Dick Cheney's friends. Are you?

Yes, plenty of relevant and useful links and studies right here

I'm embarrassed to say, for all the USPTO patent searches I've done, I should have just cut and pasted my post title. Some days I shoulda' stood in bed. Thanks for the links.

Never heard of 50/60Hz DC before...

Yep. If you touch the pozzy rail and the neggie rail on the District Line at the same time, you're gonna get burnt. It won't be as bad as the 25kVAC overhead line at Basildon Station, but even so, if you survive you'll end up at Billericay Burns Unit. It won't be good news for me, losing another potential customer! <Splutter, wheeze>

Just barely touching 325VDC really hurts!
