Sorry if this reads like someone wanting help with their homework, but I think it's just a crazy situation that two related industries cannot agree. Besides I'm wondering how uniform the definitions as to what LV, HV etc is voltage wise.
Some people with electrical/academic qualifications who I would not consider friends, believe that electrical and electronic industries around the world both consider 240V,415V etc to be Low Voltage, and that consumers and everyone else is an idiot. It's just silly that people cannot consider the industry they work in has such a huge problem.
I mean it's reasonably common to see PCBs/Caps etc labelled as "CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE" but electrical people consider this to be Low Voltage
I've found the US Underwriters Laboratory consider anything in the electronics field above 50VDC to be high voltage, and below that is low voltage.
However where the hell is the Australian standard for this ?
What about the EU and other parts of the world what are their standards ?
Surely someone on here would know which specific sections of the standards actually say.
Anyway IMHO the electrical industry are wrong, you cannot go against the standards of the electronic industry and the belief of the general public and lethal voltages are "Low Voltage". Changing the signage on power transformers and electrical poles is easier than scratching off PCB screen printing, altering injection moulding dies, and a ton of documents and layouts.
Would be a good chance to add some useful info like safe working distances and actual voltages. They don't need to worry about house switch boards as none of them seem to have any warnings unless solar power has been added. I cannot ever see it happening though.
