Low voltage refers to electrical systems that operate at a voltage that is considered safe for human contact. This voltage range is typically defined as 50 to 1000 volts AC or 120 to 1500 volts DC. Low voltage systems are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, and include lighting systems, security systems, fire alarm systems, audio and video systems, and computer networks. Unlike high voltage systems, which are used to transmit electricity over long distances, low voltage systems are designed to provide power to individual devices and equipment. The use of low voltage systems helps to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, making them a safer and more efficient option for many applications. To ensure proper installation and operation, low voltage systems must be installed by trained and licensed professionals, who must follow local and national electrical codes and standards.
