Alhaisjännitteinen

Alhaisjännitteinen is a Finnish term that translates to "low-voltage" in English. It is used to describe electrical systems or components that operate at relatively low electrical potential, typically below 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC. This category encompasses a wide range of electrical applications, from household wiring and consumer electronics to industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment.

The designation of "low-voltage" is relative. Compared to high-voltage systems used for power transmission, low-voltage systems pose a significantly lower risk of electric shock and are generally easier and safer to install and maintain. However, it is important to note that even low-voltage electricity can be dangerous under certain circumstances, and appropriate safety precautions should always be observed when working with or around electrical installations.

In many countries, specific regulations and standards govern the design, installation, and use of low-voltage electrical systems to ensure safety and reliability. These standards often dictate the types of cables, connectors, protective devices, and testing procedures that must be employed. The widespread use of low-voltage technology is fundamental to modern infrastructure, powering countless devices and systems that are integral to daily life and industrial operations.
