NEW KNOWLEDGE ON THE IMPEDANCE OF THE HUMAN BODY

ABSTRACT This paper briefly reviews the history of body impedance studies and correlates the earlier work with recent studies. Recent research, including measurements on living persons at power frequency potentials of 15, 25 and 200 V, is described. The results of statistical analysis of all relevant data, which forms the basis for the body impedance values proposed by Working Group 4 of IEC TC 64, are given.
