-- proliferation of electrical and electronic devices in the home, leading to a
surprising and shocking bill at the end of the month;
-- excessive current flowing in an inadequately sized conductor, leading to
overheating and possible fire;
-- grave mortal danger to a human person, caused by placing his body in-circuit
between the mains supply and a grounded point.
Note that none of these risks is "caused by" the mains voltage. Any risk is due
to careless and inattentive handling of the mains supply by people responsible
for its proper use. In this respect, mains voltage is no more risky than a car,
a bottle of sleep aid tablets, a pistol, or a discarded banana peel.
Low voltages offer several advantages, including enhanced safety, reduced risk of electrical shock, and compatibility with a wide range of devices. They also often allow for simpler circuitry and lower energy losses during transmission. However, the disadvantages include limitations in power delivery, which can necessitate larger currents to achieve the same power levels, leading to increased heating and potential inefficiencies. Additionally, low voltages may require more extensive infrastructure for longer distances, as voltage drop becomes a significant concern.
From the ordinary A.C. mains - you can't.The induction motor tries to run at a speed determined by the AC mains frequency supplied to it - in the U.S. it's trying to run at some fraction of 3600 r.pm., here in Australia, it's some fraction of 3000 r.p.m.The problem is that the motor relies on the stationary winding (stator)'s magnetic field inducing an opposing magnetic field in the rotating rotor. This can only happen if there is a slight speed difference between the two magnetic fields - this is "slip".Slip increases with increasing load - the motor slows when you load it.High-tech motor controllers create a variable-frequencysupply. Such controllers can output an AC supply at a higher frequency than the mains, so it's possible to make the motor run above its "nameplate" speed.This is not usually done - the rotor is designed for a maximum r.p.m., higher r.p.m.s pose the risk of destroying the rotor due to excessive "centrifugal" forces.
The live (blue) wire delivers the power from the mains into the iron's circuit. The neutral (brown) is the return path back to the mains (electricity needs a closed circuit to flow). The earth (green/yellow stripe) wire is a safety device in case anything goes wrong with the wiring in the iron to cause a short circuit. It delivers the power along the earth wire into the ground instead of it going through the user.The Iron would work without the earth wire being connected but the user would be at risk of electric shock if the iron developed a fault or the wires came loose.
You could cut yourself or otherwise injure yourself. These are hard to overcome within the activity itself, but it's possible to reduce the risk of injury with more caution.
Heavy industry and light industry use different voltages because usually the heavy industry has larger and more powerful machines, therefore the voltage needs to be higher. On the other hand, if high voltage is used in Light industry, with smaller less powerful machines, it could be very dangerous with risk of fire and harm or death to workers and staff.
One possible risk caused by mains voltages is electric shock, which can occur if a person comes into contact with exposed wiring or faulty electrical appliances. This can lead to serious injuries, including burns, nerve damage, or even death. Additionally, electric shocks can cause secondary accidents, such as falls, if the person reacts unexpectedly. Proper insulation, grounding, and safety protocols are essential to mitigate this risk.

Risk
Financial Risk Management is a process of evaluating and managing current and possible financial risk at a firm as a method of decreasing the firm's exposure to the risk. Financial risk managers must identify the risk, evaluate all possible remedies, and then implement the steps necessary to alleviate the risk. These risks are typically remedied by using certain financial instruments as a method of counteracting possible ramifications. Financial risk management cannot prevent a firm from all possible risks because some are unexpected and cannot be addressed quickly enough.

A risk control procedure aims to reduce the risk levels. This is a mechanism that is implemented with the intention of minimizing the possible risk.
