Table 9.10. Threshold Currents For Perception When In Grasping Contact With The Brass-Rod Electrode And Threshold External Electric Fields For Perception When In Contact With A Compact Car (Cg = 800 pF)
(Gandhi et al., 1984)

Frequency
(kHz)		 Threshold Current *
mA		 Threshold External E-Field
V/m
10 12.5 870
30 45.0 1036
100 315.0 2246
300 NA
1000 NA


* Average of values for two subjects;

NA -- The threshold currents are higher than currents available from the Krohn-Hite model BR7500, 75-W amplifier.
