After reading through a few threads on dangerous voltages I am unable to come to any definite conclusion on this matter: I have a (plug-pack) transformer that outputs 2 x 11.5V AC 1.25A. The input is 230-240V AC @50Hz. The output from the transformer will be used for a +/-12V DC regulator project. The question I have is, how "safe" is AC at 11.5V RMS? (presumably 50Hz?).
I can touch the terminals of my 12V SLAs and not even feel a tingle - but what if I accidentally came into contact with the output from the transformer? Could it be lethal or would I not even feel it? I realise that ANY combination of voltage/current has the potential to be fatal, this has made it all the more harder to be sure whether 11.5V RMS is "safe" to work with or not.
