Effects of current on human beings and livestock - General aspects Ingestion-build-53008 Section 9: Components and assembliesWhat is this standard about? This part of IEC 60479 provides basic guidance on the effects of shock current on human beings and livestock. For a given current path through the human body, the danger to persons depends mainly on the magnitude and duration of the current flow. However, the time current zones specified in the following clauses are, in many cases, not directly applicable in practice for designing measures of protection against electrical
