I've tried stuff like having physical contact with hot(220v) just like an open circuit..
Was just thinking if this is possible without getting electrocuted so for as long as u dont come close to neutral or ground, can u also do same with high/ultra voltages

 

Sure. You can come into contact with 500,000V and not be electrocuted. HV linesmen do it all the time.

Don't forget that electrical energy travels through space. If you have significant capacitance in a possible circuit source of AC electrical energy then you become a possible current conductor even if you don't physically touch neutral or ground.

The little birdies have been known to perch on 400kV overhead power lines - but they don't look like much capacitance.

A document popped up somewhere claiming that America was giving DC distribution a try in the quest for 1MV.

You don't have to complete a circuit for CRT TV horizontal frequency pulses to get you. The arc can jump a fair distance too. Last on I got, I didn't feel a thing till I saw the burn.

"Ive tried stuff like having physical contact with hot (220v)" .........Do you have a death wish???? Well sure you may be ok as long as you don't complete a circuit to neutral/earth, but you are taking a huge and rather stupid risk by doing it. The higher the voltage, the greater the risk. In around 1975, a fellow engineer was working on a tv, turned it off, and removed the EHT connector. The inner and outer coatings of the crt make a good capacitor charged to 25 kV. this promptly discharged into his hand and caused him to fall, strike his head on a metal chair and DIE!!!!

Yeah..thanks bro...was just asking..didnt say I was gonna try that..

The trouble with electricity is.... you can't see it, can't smell it, can't hear it, but if you touch it, it can frickin kill you!! Stay safe
