24VDC's low voltage does come with some draw backs as well. Unlike 120V, 24V will suffer from voltage drop issues much sooner over shorter distances.So if you see 24 volts DC or more commonly written as 24 VDC it describes the voltage. And current used on your device. This could be on the input or output side of your component.Since the DC is easier to shake off, if the current shock duration is 1 second, then the corresponding comparative limit value is 50mA (see Figure 3), then current values ≤ 60V are very safe for human body.
What is safe DC voltage limit : A touch voltage of 50 V AC (1-1000 Hz) or 120 V DC for long shock duration (> 3 s) should not be exceeded in healthy adults otherwise a life-threatening condition may occur. For children and livestock the touch voltage is limited to 25 V AC or 60 V DC.
What is the acceptable voltage drop for 24V DC
If the valve coil needs 24Vdc ± 10%, the minimum voltage needed is 24 – 2.4 = 21.6V; a maximum voltage drop of 2.4V from a nominal 24Vdc power supply.
Why use 24V DC : The major advantage of 24VDC over other voltage levels, on the other hand, is safety. The voltage is low enough that the shock risk is almost non-existent.
12V isn't a shock hazard, but it IS a burn hazard.
Even without a short circuit, if you make or break an electrical connection that has a lot of current going through it, the point at which the connection is made can get very hot very quickly and can burn your fingers. Therefore, a 12 volt system, even one with a higher amperage rating, is seen as generally lower risk because the 12 volts is usually insufficient to penetrate skin and other objects. Low voltage systems do have a lower risk, but that is not to say they are risk-free.
Is High Voltage DC safe
Shock: The NFPA 70E standard defines 50 volts DC or greater as hazardous. The control measures are using insulating materials and maintaining distance boundaries. Specific to PV technology is the requirement for rapid shutdown systems in buildings, which protect first responders in emergencies.As a rough rule of thumb, more than fifty volts is sufficient to drive a potentially lethal current through the body. Other factors that can determine the severity of an electric shock include the duration of the shock and where the shock enters the body.A 24V sealed lead acid battery is in its fully charged state at 25.77 volts and it is in a fully discharged state at 24.45 volts (assuming 50% max DOD). This is a full 1.32 volts difference between 100% and 0% charge. The higher the voltage, the lower the current will be. This means that a 24V system will draw less current than a 12V system for the same power output. This can result in less heat generation and power wastage, making 24V systems more efficient.
What is the voltage drop for 24V DC : If the valve coil needs 24Vdc ± 10%, the minimum voltage needed is 24 – 2.4 = 21.6V; a maximum voltage drop of 2.4V from a nominal 24Vdc power supply. Here's the dreaded Ohms law: I = E/R = 2.4V/8.03Ohms = 0.3A. In English, 0.3A will drop 2.4V over 2,000 feet of 16AWG wire.
Can you touch 24V DC : > There's naught deadly in voltage, it's the wattage that electrocutes you. In fact, if you want to be precise, it is the current (Amps) that kills you. The reason why 24V isn't nearly as deadly is because at the resistance your skin normally has the current will be low enough that it does not get dangerous.
What DC voltage is safe
You point out in your letter that some consensus standards consider live parts operating between 50 and 60 volts, DC, to be non-hazardous under certain circumstances. However, OSHA considers all voltages of 50 volts or above to be hazardous. At a very basic level, this suggests that 12 volt LED systems would have the lowest possibility of causing an electric shock, while 24 volt would be slightly higher but still relatively low, and 120 volt line voltage would be much higher in terms of the possibility of causing an electric shock.Up to 48V is considered a 'safe' voltage, but you can definitely feel it and DC is far more dangerous than AC (because with DC your muscles contract and stay contracted so it can be very difficult to disengage from the source).
