Can 7000 Volts Kill You

At 7,000 volts or 30 times than normal house voltage, it will kill you. But the killing depending on two factors. 1) Current magnitude running through your body 2) the duration of the current. Our bodies with shoes and gloves almost prevent current flowing through them.

How many volts that can kill a person?

The human body has an inherent high resistance to electric current, which means without sufficient voltage a dangerous amount of current cannot flow through the body and cause injury or death. As a rough rule of thumb, more than fifty volts is sufficient to drive a potentially lethal current through the body.

CAN 3000 volts hurt you?

If the voltage is high enough, 30mA (0.03A) through the chest can be lethal. It will only hurt for a second, then you will be dead. No quibbles about Voltage, any Voltage sufficient to drive 3,000 Amps through a human body will be fatal and probably save the cost of cremation.
