[NSRCA-discussion] Max volts

[Bob Richards]

Well, the body is not a perfect conductor. It would take way more than 40v to cause any appreciable current to flow, IMHO.

Actually very true.  But picture someone trying to save weight and combining two 6s packs to one connector and accidently “touching” something in the process.  That will pull a 200amps peak @ 50V…enough to get crispy.

But everyone knows it is current, not voltage, that kills. :-)

 

(I am just joking, BTW.)

Biggest problem with raising the voltage is that 40v is generally considered the max non lethal voltage.    You'll be hard pressed to get a voltage increase for general safety reasons. 

I'm sure that's why the current limitation  is in the general guidelines in the first place.
