Interesing conversation cropped up elsewhere on how high battery voltages are currently allowed for 'consumer equipment'.
Now you used toi be able to get 90v batteries for valve radios...and some of the current crop of electric radio controlled models are pushing up to
60v and above in the sort of 8-10bhp motor type arena (yes, they do get that big)The question arose as to what legislation affects how high a voltage can be used in equipment sold to punters...any one know what rules exist - there's a low voltage directive or summat...but there must be other stuff relating to high DC voltages in things?
I know,because it threw me across the lab, that even 40V AC off a PA amplifier loudspeaker terminal is a pretty massive jolt..
URLs to laws, or recommendations would be ideal...
