Some other suggestions[edit]
- Lightning strike
- Trip currents for domestic RCD (earth leakage) circuit breakers
- Domestic appliances:
- Light bulb
- Low energy light bulb
- Vacuum cleaner
- Electric fan heater
- Current flowing in a crystal-set radio
- Minimum current to perceptibly light an LED (I just measured this as ~1uA for a clear LED) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.171.29 (talk) 14:25, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Small current suggestions[edit]
10−12 to 10−5 could do with some more examples.
Things like:
- Microcontrollers and various integrated circuits can draw these small currents in sleep mode etc...
- There are also things like opamps and mosfets which would draw currents / leak currents in this range
- Also a good capacitor's leakage current could be of this order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidjessop (talk • contribs) 14:05, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Aluminium Smelters[edit]
The cells in aluminium smelters draw massive currents (5-10kA per cell) at relatively low voltage (10-50V). Somebody should add that with a proper source. CaffeineWitcher (talk) 21:14, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
