Always check your gloves!
Figured someone had to make a first post here

Anything over 24v is high voltage and can kill you.My solution is NEVER WORK ON HIGH VOLTAGE...
I work around 560, 480, 277, 240, and 120 all day long... I don’t wanna ever have to work on high tension stuff...
EVER...
Yeah, but you have to be REALLY unlucky to die from low voltage below 240... over 600v will kill you just on general principle.Anything over 24v is high voltage and can kill you.
This is why you should never cover yourself with baby oil before working on a main.Yeah, but you have to be REALLY unlucky to die from low voltage below 240... over 600v will kill you just on general principle.

I agree... my point isnt how safe 240V is, it's how EXTREMELY HAZZARDOUS OVER 600V IS...thing is, I AM REALLY UNLUCKY. My luck is so bad I have to account for bad luck in everything I do, by taking precautions against bad luck.
The safe to touch voltage limit is 60VDC. This is the max DC voltage that meets the definitions of a SELV circuit. That is why you see so many industrial 48V systems. These are able to stay beneath 60V even when charging batteries or using switching controllers. It is permitted to exceed 60V in a SELV circuit, if the voltage is higher frequency.Anything over 24v is high voltage and can kill you.
Yeah, that job is for the birds! No thank you...Typically you wear a conductive mesh suit, while hanging out the side of a helicopter to boot. The voltage is not the hazard these guys face.
