What is Low Voltage?

Low voltage (LV) generally refers to electrical systems operating at a voltage level that is considered safe for human contact. While the exact voltage range varies depending on regional standards, it's typically below 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC. Low voltage systems are commonly used in a variety of applications, including: small electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones, laptops), control circuits, lighting systems (e.g., LED lighting), and some power distribution systems within buildings to reduce electrical shock hazards and potentially improve energy efficiency.
