What is low voltage electrical systems?

Low voltage electrical systems are defined as systems operating at a voltage level that is considered safe for human contact. The specific voltage threshold varies by region, but is typically around 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC. These systems are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for powering lighting, appliances, and electronic devices. They are also prevalent in automotive applications, control systems, and renewable energy installations. Low voltage systems often incorporate safety features such as fuses, circuit breakers, and insulation to prevent electrical shock and fire hazards.
