Electrical Safety• Note on the diagram of the camera that
voltages as high as 320V exist in this circuit
• It is current, not voltage, that heats a wire and that causes damage to humans.
• The salty fluids of the human body are electrical conductors.
• The interior resistance of an arm, from hand to shoulder is about 100 Ohms.

Electrical Safety
• Any voltage across the internal resistance will cause currents to flow and heat to be generated sufficient to cause damage to tissue.
• Much more significantly, the nervous system and its means of control over muscles (including the heart) are electrochemical. Thus, damage can occur at currents much less than those necessary to cause burns.

Electrical Safety• One of the key characteristics that
distinguishes an EE, CSE or EPE from other technical professionals is an understanding of electrical safety.
• It is particularly important to be able to estimate currents from known voltages, since voltages are easier to measure and generally more controllable.
• Thus, if you learn nothing else from IEE, you should learn that:
Ohm’s Law can save your life and the lives of others.

Electrical Safety:How To Avoid Shock
• Estimate voltages and currents and act cautiously.
• Resistance of dry skin offers protection below 50 V. Typically, skin inserts 10k to 100k Ohms of resistance between an outside conductor and internal fluids.
• Skin provides safe current limiting below 50 V if it is dry.

Electrical Safety:How To Avoid Shock
• When working with voltages above 100 V, exercise great care.
• If you must work with these voltages, a famous rule is to keep one hand in your pocket because arm-to-arm current through your heart is much worse neurologically than local currents through one limb.

Electrical Safety• It is possible to come in contact with high
voltages with little permanent harm as long as currents are small.
• Stun guns work at voltages typically between 20kV and 150kV and usually do not cause permanent damage since currents are small (a few microamps) and voltages are pulsed (1 microsecond).
• We will return to the topic of stun guns at the end of this lecture.

• The Exploratorium recommends that you use rubber gloves to avoid shock.
• Pry off the case using a screwdriver• You should be able to set the shutter
mechanism using intact gears, etc.• You can recharge the capacitor using the

• While charging, you should hear a high pitched whine. This is the oscillator circuit.
• Fire the circuit by triggering the shutter – the flash should go off.

Disposable Camera Electronics
• The oscillator produces a time varying voltage (sort of sinusoidal) from the 1.5V battery.
• A time varying voltage is necessary to produce a high voltage using a transformer.
• The high voltage output from the transformer is rectified using diodes to produce a high DC voltage to charge a capacitor.

Disposable Camera Electronics
• Once the high voltage (320V) capacitor is charged, a small neon bulb will light up.
• The charging is then stopped either manually (you stop pushing on the charge switch) or automatically.
• Then when the shutter is engaged, a switch is closed which triggers the flash lamp.

21
Disposable Camera Electronics
• The flash lamp has three electrodes: Two connected across the high voltage
capacitor One connected to a pulse transformer
• The third electrode provides a short very high voltage pulse to ionize the xenon gas in the flash tube. Once the gas is ionized, it will carry current and discharge the capacitor. The current from the capacitor provides the energy for the high intensity light.
