    Servicing Safety and Replacement of Electrolytic Capacitors

    Health Hazards "The limited energy in capacitors (E = (1/2) C V²) restricts the duration of the shock, even if there are no circuit breakers to trip. The shock current will be limited by the body resistance, and the duration of the shock will be characterized by the time constant (τ = R C)...
