It is not so much the amperage that burns, it is the arc flash that is created by a short circuit fault. The flash happens so instantaneous that the circuit protection can not open the circuit fast enough. These arc flashes can lead to third degree burns on exposed skin. As to how dangerous fractional amperage's are review the following list keeping in mind, 1000 milliamps = 1 amp
Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation
1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception
2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction
5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)
Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction
50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillation
over 100 paralysis of breathing.
Any current above 5 to 10 milliamps flowing through the body can cause discomfort or pain. Currents above 100 milliamps can lead to muscle contractions and make it difficult to let go of the source of electricity, increasing the risk of burns and other serious injuries.

How many volts it takes to cause a current of 1.95 amps to exist in a 200 watt lamp?
The formula to calculate the relationship between amps, volts and watts is Volts X Amps = Watts or Volts = Watts / Amps or Amps = Watts / Volts therefore; 200 Watts divided by 1.95 Amps is 102.5641 Volts.
How many amps equal 1300ma?
1.3 amps
How many amps is 3000 milliamps?
3000 milliamps is equal to 3 amps. To convert milliamps to amps, you divide by 1000.

How many amps in 30 KV?
Could be zero, could be 1000 amps. Amps are not the same thing as volts.
600 volts equals how many amps?
Volts by themselves are 0 amps. Volts cause current to flow, which is measured in amps. But there has to be a circuit, which is essentially a circle for the current to flow in. And current is usually limited by a load, which is any device that utilizes electrical energy. Without a load you have a short circuit which can allow hundreds or thousands of amps to flow until something burns up or a protective device trips, like a breaker or fuse.
