    Who’s defining low and high here?

    Magnetar looking at every voltage that’s ever occurred on Earth: Aw, that’s cute.

      Well, there aren’t any real scientific definitions but there sure are legal and regulatory definitions.

      (I haven’t checked the local requirements but there’s micro voltage, low voltage and high voltage. Micro voltage is basically anything below 12v - for anything above that you need to be a certified electrician. Doubly so if you go above household voltages)

        For AC the definitions are

        • HV > 1500VAC
        • LV < 1500VAC & > 50VAC
        • ELV < 50VAC

        For DC

        • HV > 1000VDC
        • LV < 1000VDC & > 120VDC
        • ELV < 120VDC
