What part of the EU are you in?

We have 16A in Germany.

Sounds a bit dangerous. It's the Amps that kill you not the volts. Tongue

Yeah that's right. But 10A or 16A doesn't matter. First of all, you are dead even if it's just 1A. Regular breakers are not made for protecting people. You usually have a RCD for that task, which trips at 30 mA (that's 0.03 A). Beside that, 230 V are usually not enough to get a high current through your body, because the resistance is to high (you may want to look up Ohm's law).

There's so much wrong and dangerous "knowledge" out there Sad
