Abstract
The body currents induced in a human in conductive contact with various ungrounded metallic objects like cars, trucks, fences, etc., are calculated for the frequency band 10 kHz to 10 MHz. The calculated incident E-fields required to produce thershold perception and let-go currents indicate that the recently proposed ANSI guideline of 100 mW/cm2(∼615 V/m) in the frequency band 0.3 to 3.0 MHz may result in a potential for RF burns.Keywords
