Bands are based on IEC 60479-1, Dalziel's let-go data (IEEE Spectrum, 1972), and StatPearls "Electrical Injuries". Values assume 50–60 Hz AC, hand-to-hand path, ~1 second exposure, average adult. Duration, path, and individual variation matter as much as the numbers. This widget is an explainer, not safety advice.
