Measurement of Carbon Fiber Exposure to Failure and Possible Shock Hazard for Household Equipment.
Abstract
The vulnerability of 10 items of household equipment to carbon fibers was measured. These measurements were made for both an operational failure of the item and a possible input power-to-chassis short. During these tests no operational failures were observed. Several input power-to-chassis shorts were observed at the 10 to the 7th power fiber-seconds/cu m exposure level. The current observed during these shorts was below the level which could possibly harm a human body.
