DC is more lethal than AC for the same voltage because it's harder to let go of if touched as the voltage does not go through zero. (Muscles contract with constant force with DC). Electrolytic corrosion is more problematic with DC. DC arcs do not "quench" as easily (because voltage does not go through zero).Aug 7, 2018
