Yes stay below 50 volts is good for electrocution but fire may be a problem for higher power since current must be higher. 48 volt I think is standard in telecom and some electric fork lifts or similar use it. > > 24 volts is quite a practical voltage level for smaller systems.

For entire house standard voltage is probably the solution but if there are high power loads with a rectifier choosing same or diode voltage drop above this might be a good choice. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
