In general, voltages above 50 volts can pose a risk of electric shock and potential injury, particularly under wet or conductive conditions. However, the severity of injury depends not only on voltage but also on factors like current, duration of exposure, the path the current takes through the body, and individual health conditions. Even lower voltages can be harmful under certain circumstances, such as in the presence of moisture or if the person has existing health issues. Safety precautions should always be observed when working with electricity.

Can high dc voltage hurt you?

Yes, high DC voltage can be dangerous and potentially lethal. It can cause severe electrical burns, disrupt normal heart rhythms, and lead to cardiac arrest. The severity of the injury depends on the voltage level, the duration of exposure, and the path the current takes through the body. Always exercise caution and follow safety protocols when working with high voltage.
