IEC 60038
| IEC voltage range | AC RMS voltage (V) | DC voltage (V) | Defining risk | 
|---|---|---|---|
| High voltage | > 1,000 | > 1,500 | Electrical arcing | 
| Low voltage | 50 to 1,000 | 120 to 1,500 | Electrical shock | 
| Extra-low voltage | < 50 | < 120 | Electrical fire | 
International Standard IEC 60038, IEC standard voltages, defines a set of standard voltages for use in low voltage and high voltage AC and DC electricity supply systems.
