It does matter because even though it’s the amperage (A) that will do the actual cooking, the voltage at the right frequency can cause a heart to stop at a pretty low A.

Never heard that before...interesting.

Russia's home power (like most of Europe) is 230 vac, single leg to ground...at 50Hz.

is that combination potentially more lethal for the heart than,say,120 vac @60Hz...? How so?
