High-frequency electricity shock risk 1

[dcopps]

I am looking for studies assessing the risk of shock from high-frequency electricity. Another way of phrasing my question: What is the impedance of the human body as a function of electrical frequency? Thank you.

Not a lot of inductance in the human body. RF burns are very nasty.

I was always told 400 Hz acts like DC.

That is not true at all, and you shouldn't rely on anecdotal information. When a load has capacitance or inductance, the impedance will change with respect to frequency.
