> > >From IEC/EN61010-1 > > Limits are 33Vrms, 46.7V peak or 70V DC for dry areas and 16Vrms, 22.6V > peak or > 35V DC for wet locations. > Horrendously dangerous [tm] voltages of somewhat over 100 VDC are permissible as "ELV " / "Extra low voltage" under current standards in some cases. Extensive learned discussion is provided by the standards authorities in justifying this surprising (and questionable) development. One measure is "ripple free DC" and the definition thereof allows a surprising amount of ripple.
