why electric shock due to dc is dangerous than that of ac

Answer Posted / ashish_dce

as we know that the value shown by any meter of ac is
actually it Rms value.the peak value of given ac is 1.414
time of this value,means if we have same valued ac n dc we
hav to withstand 41% more voltage if we r under shock.

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?
