You ever saw a electric fence at a high security installation? I just texted a guard at nearby prison and he said theirs are 5000 volts. He said when its humid they tingle when you get a few feet away. He also says they will kill you dead. He goes on to say its why they have another fence as a barrier to prevent people who don't respect them from killing themselves. I know the ones at a nuke were marked lethal and would kill birds from time to time. They were just marked high voltage but the plant guys told us they were very high voltage at a higher frequency.

Yep, Volt makes sparks, Ampere makes hurt.

Tesla coils usuallly have around 100k Volt and don't kill you. Tasers 20k to 40k i think? The high voltage in guardians is mostly so that it connects.
