Why are the transition levels from ELV to LV lower for AC than DC?
Why are the transition levels from ELV to LV lower for AC than DC?
- The effects of AC on the human body are independent of frequency
- An AC shock is 3 - 5 times more dangerous to the human heart than a DC shock of the same voltage and current (correct)
- In general DC, which has zero frequency, is more dangerous than AC of the same voltage and current
- A DC shock is 3 - 5 times more dangerous to the human heart than an AC shock of the same voltage and current

Study Notes
Electrical Hazards and Risks Overview
- A 30 mA hand-to-hand current for 200 ms results in an AC2 shock, typically with no effects.
- Transition levels from Extra Low Voltage (ELV) to Low Voltage (LV) are lower for AC than for DC because AC shocks are 3-5 times more hazardous to the human heart compared to DC shocks of the same voltage and current.
Ignition Risks
- Electrical installations must prevent ignition of flammable materials primarily due to high temperature risks.
Motor Safety Measures
- To protect against injury from mechanical movement, motors must have switching devices capable of:
- Starting and stopping the motor
- Isolating the motor for maintenance
- Emergency stopping
- Reversing the motor is also beneficial, but not mandatory for basic safety.
Regulatory Standards
- AS3000 Section 2 outlines acceptable methods for ensuring safety against hazards and risks in electrical installations.
Electrical Safety in Swimming Pools
- To minimize electric shock risk, luminaires in Zone 0 of swimming pools should:
- Be supplied by a SELV or PELV source located outside Zone 0
- Have an IP rating of at least X4
- Feature appropriate protection
- Operate at a nominal voltage not exceeding 12 V AC or 30 V ripple-free DC
- Specific design for pool use is essential for added safety.
