I am not certain "low voltage" is determined solely by voltage reading. This is terminology that comes from utilities and power distribution. Medium voltage being less than 50 kV and Low voltage less the 1000 V. If you are in a low voltage application, you are below a substation at the secondary customer level.

In the US, low voltage is considered 600 Vac or less. Medium voltage begins above 600 Vac. In Canada, low voltage is considered 750 Vac or less. Medium voltage begins above 750 Vac. Is there a similar (harmonized or not) voltage level transition in Europe? Is the LVD's 1000 Vac limit that demarc? - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
