Abstract
Standard electrical current alternates at a frequency of 60 cycles per second (Hz). At this frequency, current could be transmitted through body tissue but would result in excessive neuromuscular stimulation and possibly electrocution. Because nerve and muscle stimulation cease at 100,000 cycles/s (100 kHz), electrosurgery can be performed safely above this frequency.
