How does NETA define low-voltage?

NETA defines low-voltage as less than 1,000 volts. This classification is important because it sets parameters for safety standards, equipment specifications, and installation practices in electrical work. Understanding these voltage categories helps ensure that technicians can effectively manage and handle electrical systems safely.

The distinction between low-voltage and other voltage ranges ensures that appropriate measures are taken to prevent electrical hazards and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. In practical application, adhering to this definition influences design choices, maintenance procedures, and the selection of protective equipment when working with electrical systems.
