Below 1 milliamperes (<1mA)
Generally not perceptible

1 milliamperes (1mA)
Faint tingle.

5 milliamperes (5mA)
Slight shock felt. Not painful but disturbing. Average individual can let go. Strong involuntary reactions can lead to other injuries.

6-5 milliamperes (6-5mA)
Painful shock, loss of muscular control. The freezing current or "let-go" range. Individual cannot let go, but can be
