GETELECTRIC,
Yes, thats exactly what I'm saying. If your resistence was the same when touching either one, you will draw the same amount of current on either one. Amps are not just there, they are "drawn" depending on the resistence and voltage. As the resistence goes down, or voltage up, you will draw more current. Of course the 15 amp circuit will reach tripping much sooner than the 400 amp, because it will trip at 15 amps, and the 400 amp will trip at whatever it is fused at.
