Just be thankful your heartbeat didn't stop.
R35 GTR
I think it did for a little bit. I feel a bit funny now.
Good job theres not much current in car electrics LOL.
Lol, Amps kill, voltage merely burns. Hertz hurts too lol.
frequency ? ........
i hope your better at your job than your statement sugests if i said something like that at work i would be fired and marched straight off the premesis.
R35 GTR
yes frequency.

As it was dc, a larger current would have been needed than for ac, due to the freuquency.....
what do you do for a living then?
Er yeah!!
R35 GTR
ok so what potential would the outer casing of the lead connected to the coil pack be in relation to a chassis ground?
R35 GTR
yeh....doh

frequency wont kill it wont do anything to you
laingo's got it current kills you voltage is what causes the mucles spasms you feel and the pain.

Seat Leon Cupra 290
lol i did this yesterday whilst checking my leads, got a bit of a shock
Clio 172 Cup
current's the killer.
i think legoland may have got a bit mixed up with AC and DC, still both carry current, one on a frequency the other one directly.
i think..........from my uni days!

technically, the frequency of an ac voltage waveform does make a difference of the effects it has on the body. IIRC 50Hz is THE most dangerous frequency for AC supply (todo with heart / brainwave natural frequencies) and a slight variation of this reduces the chance of death via shock significantly.
Sparkie? I aint a f**king house basher! (not that there's anything wrong with house bashers - just couldn't be further away from what I do lol)
I figured it ought to come from someone qualified to say it
I'm an Engineering Technician thank you very much.:rasp: :rasp:
Fitters... I s**t em I've been certified as multiskilled by my company for removal of a dual seat tuchenagen valve and putting a toy town gear box back together. LOL Makes me laugh. Extra 2.5k a year though!
Frequency does effet the way your body is shocked.... but ultimately it's current passing through you that determines whether or not your heart stops or you get severely burnt up. Ouch.

Flol @ Engineering Technician.
We are all that mate, oh hang on My correct title is Steam, Refrigeration and water services Technician lol.

PMSL. I wouldn't mind that. Mines's shocking.

LOL
Anyway. At least LegoHead hasn't suffered any ill iffects. Whether it was the current or the frequency (
) that got him an electric shock is never a nice thing!
Shhh
You guys have got nothing on me..
Lego man..
Dont worry about it, you shall learn and do it again.
Basically in short..
The coil pack is a capacitor, it receives a LT (low tension) input from the car, maybe 5~12v from the ecu. From here, the coil pack builds up the voltage too about 50,000volts, where a contact arcs over when a set voltage is reached and pushed the output (50,000volts) to the spark plug via the HT (high tension lead).
Therefore if you turn the engine off, or disconnect the system. It is best to let the system discharge for about 3~4 mins otherwise you could be risking letting yourself discharge that capacitor.
The coil pack has 2 sides, LT and HT..
You had a shock from the HT side as you were the shortest path to earth, as in normal operation its through the plug across the gap to earth.
A lesson learnt..

Licking a (9v) battery is though
kinda like licking something else You guys have got nothing on me..

So was it the current or the frequency that shocked him? :clown: :rasp:
b****cks when you get electricuted its possible for your body to alter or shift the frequency any way
