A hazardous voltage is typically defined as any voltage level that poses a risk of electrical shock or injury to humans or animals. In general, voltages above 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC are often considered hazardous, as they can cause serious injuries, including burns, cardiac arrest, or even death. The specific threshold may vary based on factors such as duration of exposure, environmental conditions, and individual susceptibility. Safety standards and regulations help define and manage these risks in various settings.
What else can I help you with?
What is parsitic voltage?
A fault could generate hazardous parasitic voltages.
Why is low voltage circuits separated from higher voltages?
avoid crosstalksafety, a short between them could cause hazardous voltages where none are expectedprotect low voltage equipment from damageetc.
When a voltage is applied to a conductor free electrons?
When a voltage is applied to a conductor, free electrons gain energy and move in response to the electric field created by the voltage. This movement of electrons constitutes an electric current flowing through the conductor.
How does the voltage varies through tap chinging of a transformer?
Voltage varies through tap changing of a transformer because the different taps connect to different points on the winding, with the result that use of different taps constitutes use of different turns ratios.
Why are fibre optic cables ideal for use in hazardous and high-voltage environments?
Because optic fibres are insulators and inert. They work using light, not electricity.
What constitutes dangerous occurrences and hazardous malfunction and why must these be reported even when no one is injured?
Dangerous occurrences are those conditions or actions which have the potential to cause hazardous malfunctions. Hazardous malfunctions are failures of objects or assemblies which potentially may cause injury to operators or bystanders. If they are not reported to management, even if no one is injured, then management will not be able to take action to prevent their happening again - and perhaps injuring someone the second or third time.
How current flow in conductors?
Current flows in conductors when a voltage is applied across them, creating an electric field that causes free electrons to move in the direction of the applied voltage. This movement of electrons constitutes an electric current. The current flow is facilitated by the presence of a closed circuit that allows the electrons to move continuously from the source of voltage to the load and back.
What are the kinds of hazard?
physical hazard,mechanical hazard,chemical hazard,electric shock hazard,crt monitor high voltage hazard.
How does potential difference induce an electric current?
A potential difference, or voltage, creates an electric field along a conductor. This electric field exerts a force on the free electrons within the conductor, causing them to move in response to the voltage. This movement of electrons constitutes an electric current flowing through the conductor.

Can hazardous chemicals be made non-hazardous?
Some hazardous chemicals can be made non-hazardous and some cannot.
