Re: Solid core inductance

Phil,
The energy stored in a capacitor is equal to 1/2 * C (in mfd) * V^2 (in kV). working for a 1 farad stack at 200 volts this works out to 20,000 joules. If you don't think that is enough to be letal than you need to stop and get better advice than we can give you here. The 200 volts is enough to penetrate into muscle tissue and cause permanent damage. Even a small bank of capacitors at 200 volts is enough to be lethal across certain parts of the body.
